About the role

  • You're here because the front end is where readers and advertisers meet our brands.
  • Every decision you make should connect back to that.
  • You'll work across brand teams to understand what they need.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with eng and design.
  • You sit with engineering and design as a peer.
  • Stay curious. The front end landscape moves fast. You stay close to what's emerging in tooling, frameworks and AI-powered development. You bring perspective on what's worth adopting vs. what's noise. You read broadly and you form your own opinions.
  • Readers who experience our brands through the audience platform and the internal teams who build on it.
  • Platform work at a multi-brand company is inherently messy with competing priorities, legacy systems and ambiguity about who owns what.
  • You build dashboards and rituals that keep the team honest.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in product management.
  • You don't write code but you can read a PR and follow a technical discussion.
  • Familiarity with digital advertising.
  • You know why page speed and layout stability matter to revenue and not just to Lighthouse scores.
  • Comfort with ambiguity.
  • You can make platform strategy make sense to an editor-in-chief and a staff engineer in the same week.
  • You can define metrics and actually track them.
  • Experience at a media or publishing company.
  • Hands-on experience with design systems (Storybook, Figma component libraries, design tokens).
  • You've shaped product strategy around AI capabilities and you can point to real examples.
  • 10+ years in product management. Meaningful time on platform or infrastructure products. Multi-brand or multi-product experience is a strong plus.
  • Real understanding of front end technology. You know your way around rendering, performance optimization, SEO, component architecture and design systems. You don't write code but you can read a PR and follow a technical discussion.
  • Consumer product instincts. You've worked on products where the end user is a real person reading or watching or browsing. You understand engagement, retention and content experience quality. You pay attention to what competitors and best-in-class publishers are doing and you bring that context to your team.
  • Familiarity with digital advertising. You understand how ad products intersect with front end performance and UX. You know why page speed and layout stability matter to revenue and not just to Lighthouse scores.
  • Comfort with ambiguity. You've operated in large orgs where the path wasn't clear. You've driven alignment without direct authority across multiple teams with competing needs.
  • Strong communication skills. You write well. You present well. You can make platform strategy make sense to an editor-in-chief and a staff engineer in the same week.
  • You've worked across web and mobile (iOS/Android).
  • You're good with data and analytics tooling. You can define metrics and actually track them.
  • What we'd love but won't require
  • You use AI tools regularly in your own product work. You've shaped product strategy around AI capabilities and you can point to real examples.
