'I couldn’t be more excited about this—our group at the NYT is hiring an Associate Product Manager! This is an *entry-level position* and we mean it. We’re taking care to create a role that best helps you learn the ropes and grow as a product manager.'

What it’s all about:

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. This mission is rooted in our belief that great journalism has the power to make each reader’s life richer and more fulfilling, and all of society stronger and more just.

The Engagement group supports that mission by building world-class products that meet the excellence of our journalism, providing our audiences with the best inroads, explorations, and experiences of that journalism. The New York Times made subscriptions the core of our business, and we believe that a better product experience will lead more users to come back again and form a regular habit with The Times.

The UX Foundations team, which sits in Engagement, is a wonderful opportunity for an early-career product manager. The New York Times team builds on a number of high-impact surfaces, such as the home screen, our story pages, and our native apps; The New York Times is also driving several exciting initiatives like personalization, design systems, and trust.

• Develop and maintain strong collaborative relationships with cross-functional partners in Engineering, Design, Data, Project Management, Audience Insights, and the Newsroom
• Develop clear, testable hypotheses for quantitative and qualitative validation
• Define and analyze key performance metrics, and use this data to identify compelling opportunities, improve user experiences and produce better results
• Track best practices and relevant new ideas taking place externally, and apply them to your strategy and product plans
