Your New Role...

We are CNN. The world's most essential and engaging source of digital news. We are in the midst of rapid transformation and need our next generation of innovators, makers, and dreamers who will lead and drive our growth. We aim to make the world a better, more connected place.

The Growth & Subscriptions Manager will help shape some of CNN's most important growth and marketing decisions. Sitting at the intersection of growth, marketing strategy, analytics, content, and commercial strategy, this person will bring rigorous quantitative thinking and structured problem solving to questions around marketing efficiency and investment, content engagement, pricing and promotions, and subscriber economics.

This role will serve as a key strategic and analytical partner to senior Marketing leadership, developing models, frameworks, and recommendations across paid and owned-and-operated channels while working closely with Data, Research, Content Strategy, Growth Marketing, Brand Marketing, Finance, and Product.

The ideal candidate combines analytical rigor and structured problem solving with strong cross-functional skills.

• Connect content and marketing performance, partnering with Content Strategy to understand how investment around specific content, franchises, talent, and programming contributes to subscriber acquisition, engagement, retention, and customer value.
• Own marketing performance reporting and strategic analysis, providing leadership with a clear view of performance, efficiency, trends, and opportunities and leading campaign and initiative post-mortems.
• Improve marketing operations and ways of working, identifying opportunities to streamline planning, reporting, decision-making, and execution while building scalable processes and operating rhythms across pricing, promotions, measurement, and other cross-functional marketing initiatives.

• Familiarity with marketing measurement approaches including incrementality testing, marketing mix modeling, attribution, experimentation, and campaign measurement.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize quantitative analysis, research, and business context into clear, executive-ready recommendations.
