Group Product Manager – News & Sport

Salt are excited to announce a partnership with a leading media organization, drawing together world-class journalism and live coverage that bring the nation together. As the business continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Group Product Manager, Principal Product Manager or Head of Product to join the team and help them achieve their mission of becoming even more customer-focused and delivering a connected and seamless experience for their global audiences.

As a Group Product Manager you will be responsible for driving the strategy and prioritization of one of their most consumed parts of their web experience in what is a potentially career defining product role.

You will work closely with other teams, including Editorial, Design, Engineering, Data Science, Product Analytics, Research, Delivery, and Marketing, to build and maintain a compelling product roadmap and backlog that drives growth, audience engagement, and retention. In the longer term you will play a pivotal role in defining what the next version of the product could look like and begin to shape a vision around this.

You will also be a hands-on Product Leader, supporting a team of product managers at various levels, driving world-class Product practice and execution, whilst promoting a culture of rapid experimentation and prototyping, shipping value to users at pace.

Here are a few career highlights that would be particularly relevant:

● Demonstrable Product Leadership experience, working on complex, consumer facing web products.

● Experience working with content and/or Editorial teams would be hugely beneficial. We’re open to industry, you might have shaped content experience for an e-commerce brand as an example and are looking to challenge yourself in a different environment.

● You know how to navigate a variety of stakeholders, bringing them on the journey, through great storytelling.

● Perhaps you have previously helped an organization become more product-led, focusing on moving the right metrics, through a test, learn and iterate approach.

As part of the interview process, you’ll meet with the Head of Product for this part of the org, learn more about what Product Management means to the business and where you can deliver immediate impact and value.

There is a pragmatic approach to flexible, hybrid working and whilst contractually you will be linked to office work, every circumstance will be considered on a case by case basis, hopefully ensuring a good work-life balance, in an environment that is high performing, collaborative and autonomous.

If you are an experienced Product Leader, with the ambition of leaving a lasting imprint on a globally renowned business, who can leverage experience shaping content and editorial driven products, then please apply today for a confidential discussion around the role in more detail
