This role will focus on growth and subscriptions for Yahoo Finance, a high-traffic platform for financial news, data, and premium services.

About the role

We're looking for a Director of Growth & Subscriptions to own growth across the full Yahoo Finance product portfolio: Content, Data and Portfolios, AlphaSpace, Premium subscriptions, and future product features. This senior leadership role has two mandates:

• Drive subscription growth for Yahoo Finance+
• Drive adoption and usage across all Yahoo Finance products

You’ll have a clear view of how users discover, adopt, and engage with our products, and how we convert the most passionate users into paying subscribers. You’ll collaborate with Marketing, Technology, Content & Editorial, and Business teams to achieve these goals.

Responsibilities

Portfolio Growth & Engagement

• Drive usage, retention, and re-engagement across all Yahoo Finance product surfaces
• Grow adoption of features like Portfolios, Watchlists, analysis, stock quote pages, and “Ask Scout” to deepen customer relationships
• Partner with Content & Editorial to grow high-engagement surfaces and ensure new products reach and retain the right audiences
• Own the growth playbook for every major product or feature, from adoption targets to in-product onboarding and feedback loops

Subscription Business Growth

• Build in-product upgrade flows, manage paywall placement, and merchandising across Yahoo Finance, including AlphaSpace
• Demonstrate value to new subscribers quickly through tool adoption, engagement habits, and early retention
• Own renewal optimization, churn-save mechanics, and re-engagement strategies
• Build referral loops and sharing mechanics to turn engaged subscribers into a growth channel
• Manage the Finance+ Premium Perks program, including perk value, partner relationships, and subscriber-exclusive offers

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Partner with Marketing on go-to-market strategy for new products and Finance+, from launch positioning to campaigns and retention
• Collaborate with Technology and Engineering to ensure growth and engagement are built into products from day one
• Work with Content & Editorial to create high-engagement experiences and subscriber-exclusive programming
• Partner with Business Development on perks, affiliate relationships, and partnerships that increase Finance+ value
• Bring a data-informed perspective to the GM and executive team on engagement trends, subscription performance, and trade-offs

Requirements

• 10+ years in product management or growth, with experience in consumer-facing, high-scale digital products
• Proven track record driving user engagement, adoption, and retention across a portfolio of products
• Experience operating a subscription or D2C business with revenue accountability across conversion, activation, and retention
• Strong command of in-product growth: onboarding flows, engagement loops, A/B experimentation, and paywall mechanics
• Product sense to work effectively with engineering as a peer; understanding of what to ask for and its cost
• Strong analytical instincts: comfortable building dashboards, reasoning from cohort data, and pivoting based on insights
• Proven cross-functional leader who can drive outcomes across teams you don’t directly control

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in finance, investment products, personal finance, or fintech with a genuine affinity for finance and investing
• Experience growing data-centered products like banking, stocks, and investing
• Familiarity with low-cost, high-engagement B2C subscription economics
