About Your Contributions:

• Coordinate with fellow product managers on the sequence of a cross-team project

• Gather metrics and provide feedback loops to your team and stakeholders

• Congratulate the scrum team on the release of an awesome new feature

About You:

• Preference for 1-2 years of hands-on product management experience, but enthusiasm and willingness to learn are valued.

• You have a passion for figuring out user problems and pain points.

• You possess an innate desire to collect, synthesize, and analyze data to inform your strategy.

• Ability to manage and prioritize the needs of different stakeholders and technical leaders.

• You excel at dreaming up ways to turn a moment of worry into calm and have an ability to explain it all to brainy designers, engineers, and writers—plus the people who care about numbers, aka “the business.”

• You’re excellent at communicating and collaborating with a wide range of teams and stakeholders to build great products.

• Proficiency in Agile principles and methodology is advantageous.

Join our team and contribute to the optimization and evolution of the Content Management System for America’s largest digital and print publisher, catering to the critical needs of Dotdash Meredith’s business while fostering growth and innovation.
