The Atlantic has, for more than 160 years, advanced ideas that matter and sparked global conversation on the most important issues of our time. We aim to bring clarity and original thinking to questions of consequence, on topics ranging from politics, the economy, and global affairs to technology, science, and culture. As the third-longest-running magazine in America, we find ourselves at a remarkable moment: one of both continuation and transformation, of upholding our legacy while continuously reinventing ourselves for the future.

The Atlantic is looking for a Senior Product Manager to ramp up our portfolio of sticky products and features that facilitate deeper habits with readers in support of our growing subscription business. 

As the product owner of Habit, you will partner with colleagues in editorial, design, audience research and data science to define an ambitious roadmap for our efforts around personalization and customization, and improved user experiences across newsletters, mobile apps and our homepage.

To be successful, you must be a good listener who can metabolize the values of the newsroom and earn trust and influence across the organization while growing our culture of multi-disciplinary collaboration and inclusion at all levels. At the same time, you must be an exceptional project manager and problem solver with a bias toward action.

• Defining an ambitious roadmap for customization and personalization that empowers our audience to tailor their experience with all Atlantic products.
• ​Driving the roadmap for our mobile apps and developing a notification strategy in partnership with our newsroom and audience team.
