  • Present product vision, strategy, and updates to senior leadership and stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in product management, with a focus on personalization, content products, or recommendation systems.

  • Proven track record of leading large-scale consumer-facing products from concept to launch.

  • Strong analytical skills and experience working with data-driven product development.

  • Excellent communication and leadership skills, with experience collaborating across technical and non-technical teams.

  • Familiarity with machine learning models and data pipelines.

  • Demonstrated ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in the media or content industry.

  • Master’s degree in Business, Computer Science, or a related field.

The Washington Post’s policy for employees is five days per week in the office, with exceptions for newsgathering and general business travel.

The actual salary within this range will depend on individual skills, experience, and qualifications as they relate to specific job requirements.
