This role sits at the intersection of product marketing and growth, focused on turning audience insights and performance trends into actionable marketing strategies that accelerate acquisition and retention. You’ll define how The Daily Beast’s subscription products are positioned, packaged, and optimized across platforms — from testing conversion funnels and pricing models to improving the subscriber journey and monetization performance.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with internal and external stakeholders including product, engineering, data, creative and off-platform partners to enhance the customer journey, improve UX, and shape experimentation plans and product roadmaps.
  • Evolve subscription offerings and tier structures across platforms to deliver measurable gains in acquisition, engagement, and product adoption.
  • Optimize the full acquisition funnel, managing segmentation, creative and paywall tests, and cross-channel customer journey improvements to increase conversion efficiency.
  • Lead the experimentation roadmap, designing and executing A/B and multivariate tests focused on pricing, messaging, and offers to improve conversion (CVR), revenue, and ARPU.
  • Own performance measurement, defining KPIs, tracking and reporting results in collaboration with data and analytics team, and regularly presenting actionable insights and recommendations to leadership.
  • Partner with Analytics and Finance to forecast, track, and refine acquisition and monetization strategies that directly connect marketing performance to business impact and ROI.
  • Serve as the lead Product Marketing partner in go-to-market (GTM) planning for new subscription products, tiers, and feature launches.

Qualifications:

  • 5-7+ years in digital acquisition, product marketing, and growth on DTC subscription businesses, with cross-platform experience (web + app) 
  • Proven success driving growth for digital subscription products and developing strategies that adapt to digital platform shifts and evolving distribution dynamics
  • Expertise in subscription funnels — including paywalls, pricing, onboarding and registration flows
  • Deep fluency in conversion optimization and cross-channel customer journey design
  • Strategic yet hands-on operator with the agility to test, learn and iterate quickly
  • Exceptional collaboration skills, partnering cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Data, Editorial and Creative teams in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for digital innovation,  journalism and media

What We Offer:

  • Opportunities for growth and professional development
  • A collaborative and flexible work environment
  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • This position is hybrid (2+ days in office)

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
