Full Job Description

The Atlantic is looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the Monetization & Growth team.

You’ll partner across Growth, Advertising, Revenue and Ad Operations, Data, Finance, Legal, Design, and Engineering to turn complex challenges into clear priorities and innovative solutions.

We’re looking for someone who understands how subscription and advertising businesses work but isn’t limited by how they operate today. You combine strong product judgment and technical fluency with the curiosity to challenge assumptions, test unconventional ideas, and find better ways forward.

This role will report to the Executive Director, Product Management on the Monetization & Growth team.

Responsibilities
  • Own the monetization roadmap, developing new ways to help our Growth team increase subscriptions and our Advertising team grow revenue.

  • Improve the subscriber journey—from acquisition and checkout through retention, reactivation, and account management.

  • Build products that improve ad performance, including yield, viewability, audience monetization, and operational quality across web and app.

  • Turn customer needs, business opportunities, data, and market changes into clear priorities and creative product solutions.

  • Partner with Engineering, Design, Growth, Advertising, Data, Finance, Legal, and Operations to take products from discovery through launch and iteration.

  • Define success metrics, run experiments, and use results to guide the roadmap.

  • Strengthen the flexibility, scalability, and reliability of our monetization systems.

  • Use AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, documentation, and product development.

Qualifications
  • Passion for the future of high-quality, independent journalism.

  • Significant product management experience in subscriptions, advertising monetization, revenue systems, marketplaces, or another analytically complex domain.

  • Strong product judgment, with the ability to balance revenue goals, user experience, technical constraints, and operational realities.

  • Experience leading cross-functional product work with multiple stakeholders and dependencies.

  • Ability to interpret data, identify patterns, and translate insights into actionable product recommendations.

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several workstreams at once.

  • Clear written and verbal communication skills and a collaborative working style.

  • Comfort working in fast-moving environments and approaching ambiguous problems with curiosity, initiative, and creativity.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in digital publishing, media, subscriptions, advertising, or another content-driven business.

  • Familiarity with subscription lifecycle product work such as checkout, pricing, retention, payments, or reactivation.

  • Familiarity with advertising product domains such as ad serving, targeting, consent, measurement, yield, or monetization operations.

  • Experience with experimentation, KPI-driven product development, and platform or operational product management.

  • Comfort working across platforms, systems, APIs, workflows, and integrations that support monetization execution.

  • Strong technical fluency and comfort working in tools and systems that support testing, QA, reporting, and operational delivery.

  • Resourceful and self-directed, with the ability to troubleshoot issues, learn new systems quickly, and independently move complex work forward.

This position is based in New York City or Washington, D.C.

Salary minimum: $115,000 ; Salary maximum: $175,000

This is a Guild position.
