Senior Product Manager, Core Experiences

Join the future of news. We’re on a mission to deliver riveting storytelling for all of America. At The Washington Post, you’ll help reinvent news by combining investigative spirit with innovation to bring audiences closer to the stories that matter most. Senior Product Manager – Core Product Experience As Senior Product Manager for the Washington Post’s core digital experience, you will lead the evolution of the website and apps (homepages, article pages, navigation, and key user journeys). Your goal is to make The Post essential to daily life by improving discoverability, consumption, and retention of world‑class reporting. Responsibilities Own the core product experience; drive the evolution of the Post’s website and apps. Define and improve metrics that matter—engagement, retention, frequency, speed, and user satisfaction—and make quality and trust measurable. Turn insight into iteration: use data, research, and instinct to identify friction, prioritize improvements, and ship continuously. Partner deeply with Design and Engineering to refine interaction models, improve performance, and elevate the overall product experience. Strengthen the daily habit by identifying and building features, loops, and cues that bring users back. Balance craft and scale, ensuring solutions work across platforms and audiences. Continuously refine how stories are presented, structured, and surfaced so that great journalism reaches and resonates with more people. Qualifications Product manager with a proven track record of improving meaningful, at‑scale consumer experiences, not just shipping features. Previous experience in news or journalism product roles is a bonus. Strong product judgment: you know what to fix, what to leave alone, and what to rethink entirely. Comfortable working in high‑traffic, high‑visibility surfaces where small changes have large impact. Fluency with data, using it to inform decisions, not as a dependency. Experience partnering closely with design and engineering to raise the quality of shipped work. Bias toward iteration and momentum; you make things better week‑by‑week, not just quarterly. Sensitivity to content, storytelling, and user experience beyond interfaces. Foundational belief in the importance of journalism and trusted expertise in an AI‑driven world. Collaboration mindset; you work with cross‑functional teams to achieve shared goals. Compensation and Benefits Salary range: $119,700 – $199,300 per year, with bonus potential. Benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, vision coverage; company‑paid pension and 401(k) match; paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, and personal days; parental leave; mental health resources; backup and caregiver concierge services; gender affirming services; pet insurance; free Post digital subscription; and leadership and career development programs. Work location: Washington, DC (on‑site five days a week with some travel for news gathering). Full‑time, part‑time and status may affect benefits. Regardless of your background, we are committed to inclusive hiring practices and equal opportunities. #J-18808-Ljbffr
