About The Position | Major goals and objectives and location requirements 

Dotdash Meredith is looking for a Senior Manager of Research & Insights for our Auto, Tech, & Travel vertical. 

Dotdash Meredith is a top resource for Americans, reaching nearly 200 million unique users a month, thanks to our high-quality content aimed at helping people make decisions, find inspiration, and take action. Our first-party data is at the heart of informing everything we do--and not just for this vertical, but across powerful brands in home, food & beverage, health, family, beauty, and entertainment (including powerhouses like People, Better Homes and Gardens, and AllRecipes).

As a Senior Manager, you will become a data expert on our audience’s needs and behaviors and will work closely with the team lead to tell persuasive data stories to support DDM’s key lines of business. Key stakeholders will include Sales, Marketing, Editorial, and Product Development teams. 

In addition to your team of direct reports and your manager, you will have full support from your research colleagues across all verticals as well as our data science, data operations, and data engineering teams. While your day-to-day focus will address the support needs of our Auto, Tech, & Travel initiatives - you will have direct access to our broader portfolio of first-party data across all of DDM’s iconic brands.

This position is located in NYC and is hybrid in-office, with the ability to work remotely for up to 2 days per week.
