-
Lead the implementation and optimization of third-party tools (CMS, analytics, ad tech, email marketing, paywall systems, etc.)
-
Manage the prioritization and backlog for technical teams and external vendors
-
Conduct A/B tests and user research to inform data-driven product decisions
-

Qualifications:
-
4+ years of experience in digital product management (media, SaaS, or content platform experience a strong plus)
-
Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and execute in an agile environment
-
Strong understanding of UX/UI best practices and customer-centered design
-
Experience with CMS platforms, analytics tools (Google Analytics, Hotjar), and workflow management tools (Jira, Trello, Asana)
-
Solid grasp of monetization models in digital publishing (ads, subscriptions, sponsorships, paywalls, affiliate)
-
Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
-
Bonus: familiarity with headless CMS, WordPress, newsletter tech (ConvertKit, Beehiiv), or podcast platforms
What We Offer:
-
A seat at the table to shape the future of a modern, independent media brand
