About the role

  • You'll influence engineering, editorial, commercial, and senior leadership, and you'll move the organisation through the quality of your thinking and the clarity of your decisions.
  • GQ and Pitchfork share almost nothing except the standard they set.
  • Different audiences, different business models, different editorial cultures, different product priorities.

Responsibilities

  • You'll own both simultaneously, and the best person for this role doesn't just manage that complexity, they're genuinely energised by it.
  • Own the product strategy and roadmap for GQ and Pitchfork's digital experiences - web, and whatever comes next.
  • Develop a deep, specific point of view on what makes each brand's product exceptional: GQ's intersection of style, culture, and commerce; Pitchfork's role in how music fans discover, contextualise, and obsess over music.
  • Pitchfork's paywall launched in early 2026 - you'll inherit it, interrogate it, and own what comes next.
  • Own the experimentation programme for both brands - design, run, and analyse A/B and multivariate tests across the full digital experience.
  • Build a culture of hypothesis-driven development - every major product decision is grounded in data and validated through structured testing.
  • Self-sufficient when it comes to pulling your own data, interpreting it, and setting up your own dashboards and instrumentation when needed.
  • Stay at the frontier of what AI makes possible in media and bring informed, practical perspectives on what to build, buy, or partner on.
  • That means developing a sharp, evidence-based point of view on how to grow a subscriber base without eroding the cultural reach that makes Pitchfork worth subscribing to in the first place.
  • The product opportunity is realising that commercially - building shopping and discovery experiences worthy of that trust, and measuring what it actually takes to convert a reader into a buyer.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of product management experience in digital media, publishing, or consumer-facing products - with a track record of shipping great web experiences, not just managing roadmaps.
  • You can point to specific things you built, what they moved, and what you learned.
  • A genuine fan of GQ and Pitchfork - you read them, you have opinions about them, you understand what makes each brand's voice and audience distinct.
  • You know what best-in-class looks like for a consumer content experience and you hold your team to that standard.
  • You understand how product decisions connect to revenue, audience growth, and long-term brand value, and you can articulate that clearly to senior stakeholders.
  • Experience with men's lifestyle, fashion, culture, or music products - you understand what great looks like in these spaces and have strong opinions about the gap between what exists and what could.
  • Comfort with ambiguity - you've operated in large, complex organisations where the path wasn't always clear.

Nice to have

  • experience at a media or publishing company - you already know the rhythms of editorial culture and publishing.

Compensation
