Overview

Mission : The New York Times mission is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. Independent journalism sits at the core of everything we do. We have a world‑renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report from nearly 160 countries. We focus on how our readers experience journalism, from print to audio to digital and app destinations. Our business strategy makes journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.

Marketing extends the journalistic legacy and mission of The Times into the future. We answer the question, “Why is quality journalism worth paying for?” by creating award‑winning marketing that shows our leadership in journalism and the many ways readers can subscribe.

We are seeking a Marketing Designer to bring the full‑funnel creative strategy and execution to our News product and All Access bundle subscription offering. This hands‑on design role translates the value of independent journalism and world‑class lifestyle products into clear, compelling campaigns that drive performance and deepen engagement.

Reporting to the Creative Director, Design, Marketing, you will work closely with writers, designers and audio/video teams, and partners in marketing and media strategy, product design, audience insights and brand identity. You will contribute to integrated campaigns across the subscriber journey—from full‑funnel product launches to subscriber acquisition, app store optimization and more.

You thrive at the intersection of brand and performance, contribute directly to growth and product marketing initiatives, and learn from senior creative leaders.

This is a hybrid role based in our New York City headquarters. You will be expected in the office three days per week.
