It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.
Mission Overview & Responsibilities:
The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. Independent journalism is at the heart of all we do, and we focus deeply on how our readers experience our work across a world‑class digital and app destination.
NYT Games aims to be the premier destination for digital puzzle games. It publishes human‑made puzzles daily, including beloved games like Wordle, Spelling Bee, Connections, and the New York Times Crossword. These games are played by tens of millions each week. Our Games business is a key driver of subscription growth and long‑term subscriber value.
The Subscriber experience team ensures subscribers deepen their daily habit with NYT Games. They do this by clearly connecting and communicating the value of their subscription, giving them experiences they don't want to play without, and creating exclusive features worth paying for. Together, these efforts support the long‑term health of the New York Times subscription business.
About the Role
We're hiring a Product Manager II for the Games Missions in our Player Experience Group to own how subscribers discover, engage with, and build habits around NYT Games.
Your focus is on connecting subscribers to the value they're getting: helping them understand the core benefits, build regular engagement patterns, and experience the full breadth of our game portfolio. You'll design onboarding experiences that turn new subscribers into engaged players, build interventions to re-engage those who show signs of disengagement, and strengthen their connection to the games they love.
You'll join a cross‑functional team with dedicated leads across product, engineering, design, data, QA, and production.
This is a hybrid role based in our New York City office.
Responsibilities:
-
You will help accelerate our subscriber growth by optimizing how subscribers experience, discover, activate, engage with, and stay in the platform.
-
Design and optimize the onboarding journey to help new subscribers quickly discover value, understand their benefits, and build lasting engagement habits
-
Identify friction points and at-risk users through behavioral analysis, then ship targeted interventions to improve activation and reduce churn
-
Run experiments to test hypotheses around onboarding, feature adoption, and engagement tactics, then iterate based on results
-
Analyze user behavior using cohort analysis, drop-off patterns, and lifecycle metrics to produce data-driven hypotheses and prioritize high-impact opportunities
-
Contribute to the roadmap for our subscriber growth and deliver highly relevant, inspiring experiences to drive long-term value for subscribers
-
Define success metrics for your initiatives, monitor experiment performance, and partner with a data analyst to build dashboards to track impact
-
Own end-to-end product features through their entire cycle: ideation, specification, development, release, analysis, and iteration
-
Collaborate with engineering, design, data science, research, and marketing to deliver solutions ranging from small optimizations to multi-surface experiences
-
Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
-
You will report to the Product Director for the Games Mission.
Basic Qualifications:
-
3+ years of product management experience at a high-growth consumer tech company or subscription product.
-
1+ year of experience optimizing the growth funnel.
-
Experience optimizing growth funnel across signup, onboarding, activation, or retention - you've driven measurable improvements to metrics while never losing sight of end-user experience and value delivery.
-
Experience A/B testing and using data and insights to inform product development.
-
A hypothesis-driven, iterative approach to product development - you know how to build and ship with imperfect data rather than waiting for perfect infrastructure.
-
Experience prioritizing and delivering results for multiple projects in a collaborative environment.
-
Experience partnering with data, engineering, and design to translate insights into shipped features.
Preferred Qualifications:
-
Experience working on subscription business models in consumer products (media, SaaS, gaming, or fitness) with an understanding of subscription mechanics.
-
Background in products where engagement frequency and habit formation promote long-term value.
-
Interest in games and puzzles! You're an active player who understands what makes these experiences engaging.

It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.
About the Role:
This is a vital moment in the life of The New York Times. We have declared ourselves a subscription‑first company, staking our future on producing journalism worth paying for and developing deeper relationships with our readers across a growing bundle of products. In a rapidly changing information landscape, where facts are contested and trust is fragile, our mission to provide thoughtful, truthful and independent journalism is more crucial than ever.
Our subscription business has grown close to 13 million subscribers, with a goal to reach 15 million and beyond by 2027. To support that ambition, we must modernize and tightly govern the systems and operations that power how we create and govern offers, bill customers, accept and settle payments, recognize revenue and report our performance.
We are hiring a Director, Subscription Finance Technology to serve as the global process owner for our end‑to‑end Order to Cash (O2C) workflow. You will sit at the intersection of Finance, Commerce Platforms, Data Platforms, Tax, Internal Audit and Compliance. You will ensure that the way we design products and systems also protects the integrity of our revenue, our controls and our reporting. We are looking for a specialist in financial processes with technical knowledge. This specialist will oversee the O2C operating model. Additionally, they will partner with Product and Engineering to embed those requirements into the products and platforms being built. You will report jointly to the Corporate Controller and the Executive Director of Product, Commerce Platforms.
This is a hybrid role based in our New York City headquarters. You can typically expect to be in the office three times per week.
If you are excited by the idea of owning and evolving the financial backbone of a global subscription business — and ensuring that our ambition to grow is matched by equally strong operations, controls and data — we'd love to hear from you.
Responsibilities:
- Be the single process owner and directly responsible individual (DRI) for O2C operations and workflows. These processes power offer configuration, subscription activation, billing, collections, entitlement management, revenue recognition, and reporting
- Provide strategic direction and prioritization guidance for the Finance Product team as you discover and implement technical solutions that make financial processes and controls efficient and compliant
- Refine the O2C processes within the subscription business. This includes establishing transparent planning and brainstorming across teams, defining ownership for all projects, and ensuring measurable outcomes for implemented solutions
- Articulate Finance, Audit and Compliance needs as clear, testable business requirements for Product, Engineering and Data teams
- Oversee the Finance Product Team managing the team's roadmap and managing prioritization decisions. You will directly manage two analysts within the team
- Ensure that decisions around pricing, offers, promotions, entitlements, and other commerce objects are implementable, compliant, and scalable in downstream financial systems. To achieve this, participate in the upfront design and planning forums across multiple product teams, and surface O2C risks and trade-offs early
- Represent O2C needs in design and planning forums by communicating risks/trade-offs to ensure commerce decisions are compliant and scalable in financial systems
- Maintain end‑to‑end visibility into how major product and platform programs affect revenue recognition, tax, controls and other back‑office processes
- Identify how product and platform OKRs, roadmaps and technical designs impact Finance so they can plan accordingly, and vice versa
- Be the first line of escalation when product goals conflict with financial, tax or control requirements, resolving most issues at the working level and escalating material trade‑offs to senior leadership
- Design and steward an interaction and governance model that brings together product development teams, Finance, Tax, Internal Audit and Compliance
- Define clear ownership for important decisions. Establish a structured path for raising and resolving issues when material financial, reporting, or control risks arise. This gives Finance a mechanism to surface and address these risks before launch
- Strengthen audit readiness by partnering with Internal Audit and Compliance to ensure that new and evolving O2C capabilities have appropriate preventive controls, documentation and testing plans
- Partner with data producers across the O2C process to provide a unified, reliable data foundation for subscriber and revenue reporting, including reconciled views across multiple billing systems, third‑party platforms and internal marts
- Lead change management as Product and Engineering deliver new commerce, reporting and control capabilities through streamlining processes, updating documentation and upskilling operations teams
- Work with business owners to ensure that you adopt and embed new capabilities (e.g., new subledger features, tax automation, subscriber data products) in day‑to‑day operations, with clear owners and success measures
- Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world
Basic Qualifications:
- 7+ years of experience in order‑to‑cash, revenue operations
- Working knowledge of the U.S. GAAP, ASC 606, deferred revenue, subledger design and global tax topics and how they shape billing and revenue logic
- Experience working with home‑grown billing and subscription platforms alongside vendor tools, reading system and data‑flow diagrams, and partnering closely with engineering leads
- Demonstrated understanding of the software development lifecycle. You are proficient in querying and manipulating data. You use modern project management and issue-tracking tools, such as Jira, fluently. Additionally, you have hands-on experience working within Agile product development teams.
- Grounded in the product management craft. Experienced at framing problems and outcomes, setting clear success metrics, writing crisp requirements, and driving prioritization and trade‑off decisions in partnership with cross‑functional teams
- Experience leading through influence across executive leadership, Finance, Product, Engineering, Internal Audit and Compliance, with a track record of building trust and agreement in high‑stakes environments
- Familiarity with shaping new roles and operating models, able to bring structure, documentation and clarity where responsibilities have historically been distributed in multiple teams
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in both consulting (auditing or internal controls advisory services) and in high‑volume subscription or digital media businesses
- People management experience

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.
Mission Overview & Responsibilities:
The New York Times is looking for a Senior Technical Product Manager to build content and data platforms to shape the future of how we deliver journalism to our users.
The New A.I.

The mission operates across two core portfolios. A.I. Platforms is dedicated to empowering all teams across the company by building out robust platform capabilities, documentation, and guidance. A.I. Products focuses on quickly developing and scaling new A.I. prototypes and products.
The New York Times has been producing work-class journalism for 175 years and we publish hundreds of new articles, recipes, videos, podcast, and other media every day. We are looking for a Senior Technical Product Manager to transform our content retrieval services. The goal is to create a modern, intelligent Discovery Engine that offers a variety of content, including video, audio, summaries, and articles. This engine will power the next generation of Times products.
You will navigate deep technical complexity and high-stakes organizational dependencies. You will bridge the gap between our core internal data providers and our AI application builders to ensure our AI has Times expertise at its heart.
This is a hybrid role based in our New York City office.
Your Role:
As a Senior Product Manager, you will be a key member of the AI Platforms portfolio. You will oversee context engineering for AI applications at The Times, starting with the scaling and launch of a modern content retrieval product. You will be a key collaborator with other data platforms at The Times to build a new infrastructure layer for the A.I. era. And you will work with consumer product teams to advance content and user data capabilities to advance NAPP and The Times' product development lifecycle, from prototyping to production.
Responsibilities:
-
Own the Discovery Engine Roadmap: Lead the development of the Discovery Engine from to full production migration, including deep collaboration with consumer teams on NAPP and across the company.
-
Cross-Functional Dependency Management: Serve as the primary partner for our Publishing, Data Platforms and the ML Function to secure clean data feeds and manage the creation and use of embeddings for text and users.
-
Retrieval & Ranking Strategy: Define and tune the hybrid search logic that balances semantic similarity, keyword match, and personalization signals to ensure high-quality retrieval for diverse AI-powered use cases.
-
Data Enrichment & Ingestion: Oversee the pipelines for AI-generated metadata – including editor-in-the-loop workflows – and ensure non-text assets like video and audio transcripts are indexed and searchable.
-
Validation & Performance: Define and monitor technical KPIs, including P95 query latency, throughput, retrieval accuracy, cost and downstream AI application performance using tools like Braintrust and StatSig in partnership with downstream product teams.
-
Vendor Evaluations: Lead technical pilots (e.g. vector databases, knowledge graphs) to de-risk architectural decisions and inform our long-term build-vs-buy strategy.
-
Visioning: Identify and scope opportunities for infrastructure that would provide additional context or unlock new capabilities for The Times (for example, Knowledge Graphs or semantic data layers).
-
Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
-
You will report to the Director, A.I. Platforms.
Basic Qualifications:
-
5+ years of Product Management experience, with a focus on high-scale backend systems, search infrastructure, or data platforms.
-
Deep technical literacy in AI/ML. Demonstrated experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, turbopuffer), embeddings, and RAG architectures.
-
Experience discussing complex technical dependencies, API design, and system boundaries with engineering partners.
-
Data Fluency and experience working with large-scale data pipelines (ETL/ELT) and defining metadata schemas for diverse content types.
-
Experience working across organizational silos (Engineering, Data Science, and Product).
Preferred Qualifications:
- A profound curiosity for journalism and the future of the information ecosystem.
-
Experience building digital information or education products in the LLM space, with a focus on trust, reliability, and quality in AI systems.
