Audio and video are two fast-growing ways our subscribers experience The Economist. From podcasts and article narration to Insider long-form video shows, these formats give our journalism a human dimension and a growing role in the habits that keep subscribers with us.
We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to own our Audio & Video product strategy. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who wants to shape a whole product area directly and build one of the most distinctive parts of our subscription.
The Principal Product Manager for Audio & Video owns launching new formats and features that add value to the subscription, then engage and then retain subscribers. You will set the roadmap for our audio and video proposition (podcasts, audio narration, Insider long-form video shows) and work with Design, Editorial, Marketing, Engineering and Analytics to ship it. You will report to the VP of Engagement.
This is an individual contributor role. You will own strategy and delivery directly, working hands-on with a cross-functional team.
This role is based in the UK. We work in a hybrid model and ask that team members come into the office three days a week.
