Technical Product Manager II, Editorial Core

Responsibilities

• Translate core platform logic and infrastructure into seamless, multi-channel messaging tools that newsrooms and marketers use to reach our audience
• Collaborative Planning: Partner with Editorial and Marketing to refine their goals into technical projects, ensuring every initiative strengthens our shared messaging system rather than creating isolated, one-off solutions
• Design Scalable Features: Identify when a specific stakeholder request can be turned into a flexible tool that benefits the entire organization, balancing immediate business needs with a stable, long-term technical foundation
• Deliver Measurable Results: Ensure our messaging solutions are built to help stakeholders hit their targets, such as reader retention and habit formation, while keeping the overall system fast and reliable
• Lead the end-to-end product lifecycle for your area: discovery, requirements, prioritization, scoping, delivery, rollout, and iteration
• Use data and experimentation (delivery metrics, funnels, reliability and latency metrics, qualitative feedback) to define goals, validate solutions, and identify new opportunities
• Apply multiple prioritization frameworks and adjust scope to manage competing demands from different product teams while maintaining platform health and reliability
• Ensure launches include appropriate rollout plans, alerting, and playbooks in partnership with engineering and operations, recognizing that messaging is mission-critical during major news moments
• Partner with engineering leads to align technical strategy with product needs for your area, including architecture, data flows, SLAs/SLOs, and dependency management across channels and upstream systems
• Define and monitor key system-level metrics (e.g., delivery success rates, latency, error rates, capacity headroom) and use them to drive prioritization and communicate risk and progress

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in product management or technical product management, including work on platforms, infrastructure, data systems, or other technically complex products
• Experience owning a product area end-to-end: define strategy, set metrics, shape roadmaps, and drive execution with cross-functional teams
• Proficient knowledge on architecture, APIs, data models, and system performance tradeoffs with engineers, and translating them for non-technical partners
• Experience using quantitative and qualitative data to make decisions and measure impact (e.g., delivery metrics, funnels, A/B tests, user research, logs and dashboards)
