HybridNew York, United States
Job Summary
Own the end-to-end product strategy for FOX News Media's tentpole event experiences, including elections, breaking news, and major cultural moments. Build reusable, scalable event infrastructure to reduce build time while defining standards for editorially-generated and AI-assisted content. Lead product readiness planning for live events by translating coverage priorities into requirements, defining go/no-go criteria, and driving pre-event testing and cross-functional alignment. Sequence investments against the broader roadmap, manage sprint ceremonies, and define success metrics for traffic handling and engagement. Actively use AI agents as a default approach for research, PRD drafting, and sprint preparation. Requires 8+ years of experience owning high-stakes, time-bound digital products with strong technical credibility. Regular on-site attendance of minimum 3 days per week is an essential function.
Required Qualifications
- 8+ years of product management experience
- Track record of owning high-stakes, time-bound product experiences
- Experience delivering live event, tentpole, or moment-driven digital products in any vertical (news, sports, entertainment, streaming, or similar)
- Demonstrated technical credibility: ability to evaluate the feasibility of a concept, engage meaningfully with a technical spec, and work directly with engineers to make build vs. defer decisions without requiring mediation
- Strong operational instinct: ability to know how to build readiness plans, anticipate failure modes, and keep cross-functional teams aligned under deadline pressure
- Ability to translate fast-moving editorial or business priorities into clear product requirements with minimal lead time
- Experience building scalable event product infrastructure, not just one-off builds
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills: ability to write a tight PRD, present to leadership, and maintain stakeholder alignment across engineering and editorial teams with different cadences and priorities
- Ability to operate independently on a lean team, managing multiple workstreams and event cycles simultaneously
- Active, practiced use of AI to optimize daily product workflows, including research, synthesis, PRD drafting, stakeholder communication, and sprint preparation, with a habit of building and iterating on agent-assisted workflows rather than defaulting to manual processes
- Regular, on-site attendance at the workplace a minimum of 3 days per week
Desired Qualifications
- Experience at a digital media, news, streaming, or live entertainment company
- Track record delivering election or political event digital experiences
- Familiarity with live blog, real-time content, or results display product formats
- Experience managing product delivery under hard, immovable deadlines tied to real-world events
