Staff Product Manager, Newsource

Your New Role The Staff Product Manager is responsible for CNN Newsource; the ideal candidate is able to envision our offering standing out among news agencies not by competing on the same terms as the wire services, but by building a fundamentally better product experience anchored in video and driven by deep understanding of what our partners need. This role is about turning that vision, grounded in deep user and business understanding, into a product strategy, a roadmap, and measurable business results. CNN Newsource is CNN's B2B content syndication service, partnering with 1,000+ news organizations to deliver video, text, and photo content across platforms. Leveraging CNN's global newsgathering, 24/7 distribution, and leading video capabilities, this role focuses on improving how partners discover, access, and use content - making it easier to integrate into workflows and better understand audience engagement. Your Role Accountabilities Own the product vision, strategy, goals, and roadmap for the digital experience that CNN Newsource delivers to its partner network. Identify and prioritize product investments based on customer impact and business value, and develop data‑informed recommendations on where to increase or decrease investment. Build your knowledge and intuition to be an authority on the voice of the customer, starting with internal stakeholders and then branching out to select direct relationships with affiliate stations and local news partners to deeply understand workflows and needs. Translate user insights into actionable product requirements and investment recommendations that connect partner needs to platform decisions. Partner with engineering and design to define, build, and ship product improvements with a consistent and high‑quality delivery cadence. Define success metrics, ensure tracking is in place, and use data to validate impact, inform iteration, and communicate results to leadership. Leverage AI tools to accelerate product management workflows and evaluate where AI can meaningfully improve the team's speed and quality of output. Work across engineering, editorial, sales, and business development teams to ensure product investments are aligned with broader Newsource strategy and revenue goals. Effectively influence executive audiences with compelling presentations, plans, and results; contribute to up‑leveling the broader product organization through mentorship and sharing best practices. Qualifications & Experience Required 8+ years of product management experience with a track record of owning product strategy, goals, metrics, and execution for a strategic product. Demonstrated ability to operate in environments with moderate complexity and moderate ambiguity, defining customer, strategy, and roadmap with limited guidance. Technical aptitude with content management systems (CMS), media asset management (MAM) systems, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, integrations, and search technologies. Experience translating user research and behavioral data into product strategy and prioritized roadmaps. Strong written and oral communication skills; ability to produce product artifacts that are used as examples of quality work. Comfort working with dedicated engineering and design teams to ship product at a consistent cadence. Preferred Experience with B2B platform products, particularly those serving media, publishing, or content distribution customers. Familiarity with the news agency landscape, affiliate/syndication models, or local news operations. Experience using AI‑assisted tools (e.g., for prototyping, data analysis, content generation, or workflow automation) to increase the velocity and quality of product work. Background in product‑led growth, especially in marketplace business models. Experience in establishing customer analytics and engagement measurement. Familiarity with A/B testing methodologies, user experience research, and iterative product development practices. How We Get Things Done This last bit is probably the most important!
