Product Manager, Core Experience

The Washington Post is looking for a Product Manager, Core Experience to help imagine and launch new ways to experience our journalism: features, formats, and products that expand how people engage with The Post.
This is a role for someone who wants to build, test, and ship new ideas quickly. Not just incremental improvements, but new experiences that make our journalism more engaging, more trusted, and more relevant in an ever-changing product landscape.
You will explore how emerging technologies can reshape how stories are told and consumed, from audio to personalization to entirely new interaction models. The goal is not novelty for its own sake, but creating experiences people actually use and return to.
The Skills and Experience You Bring
Build new experiences from concept to launch. Identify opportunities, define concepts, and bring new features and formats to lifefrom early prototypes through production.

Explore new ways to experience journalism. Develop products like AI-powered audio, conversational interfaces, personalized story formats, and other emerging interaction models.

Move quickly from idea to reality. Prototype, test, and iterate with urgencylearning what works by putting real products in front of users.

Work across Product, Design, Engineering, and Editorial. Translate ideas into shippable experiences, balancing creativity with execution.

Test and learn in the real world. Define success metrics, run experiments, and refine based on actual usage and feedback.

Bridge innovation and the core product. Identify what should remain experimental and what should become part of the everyday experience of The Post.

What We're Looking For
A product manager who has built and shipped new consumer-facing features or products, not just optimized existing ones.

Curiosity about new technologies, especially AI, and how they can change user experiences, not just add features.

A bias toward action. You move from idea to prototype to launch quickly, without over-indexing on process.

Strong product instincts. You can tell the difference between an interesting idea and a useful one.

Comfort operating with ambiguity and limited structure. You help define the path, not wait for it.

Collaboration makes us stronger. That's why our offices are designed with open layouts, modern technology, and easy access to transportation. With certain exceptions for newsgathering and business travel, we work on-site five days a week.
