Partner with design, research, and analytics to continuously test and iterate. • Conversion Optimization: Analyze user behavior across the full funnel (registration, paywall, checkout) to identify friction points and opportunities to improve conversion rates and reduce drop-off. • Data-Driven Decision Making: Use qualitative funnel data and quantitative research to understand acquisition drivers and user intent, and translate insights into product strategy. • Metrics: Define and own KPIs related to acquisition and funnel conversion. • Communication: Keep cross-functional partners, including marketing, editorial, legal, and other product teams, informed on roadmap priorities, experiment results, and performance insights. Qualifications & Experience… • 5+ years of product management experience, with a strong preference for directto-consumer subscription or growth-focused roles • Proven experience driving subscriber acquisition, paywall strategy, and conversion rate optimization • Hands on experimentation experience designing, running and evaluating A/B tests, with a track record of shipping and iterating on growth initiatives based on test results. • Experience optimizing the subscription funnel (landing page through checkout) in close partnership with marketing and analytics. • Strong product instincts across the full lifecycle (discovery, build, launch, and iteration) grounded in user research, data and hypothesis-driven thinking • Strong analytical skills and fluency using data (e.g., funnel metrics, web analytics, experimentation results) to inform decisions • Track record of collaborating with cross-functional teams to lead and execute complex initiatives • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, especially when translating data into decisions or strate How We Get Things Done… This last bit is probably the most important!
