About The Position

FOX News Media is looking for a Principal Product Manager to own the content experiences that shape how audiences discover, navigate, and engage with content across FNM digital properties. This is a senior individual contributor role with broad scope and significant cross-functional influence. This role is the product authority for the structural layer of the FNM audience experience: the architecture, surfaces, and standards that translate content strategy into what users actually find and explore. You will own how audiences browse, navigate, and find content: the navigation systems, brand and vertical destinations, topic pages, and content structures that make FNM’s editorial output accessible and engaging at scale. The right candidate brings fluency in information architecture alongside a genuine understanding of how content strategy shapes user behavior. You are comfortable navigating multi-brand complexity, setting standards that work across a portfolio of distinct properties, and partnering closely with other leaders across the product-technology team.

Requirements

10+ years of product experience at the intersection of content strategy and digital product; you understand how a newsroom thinks, how editorial decisions shape what audiences encounter, and how users discover and consume content across digital platforms, especially mobile apps
Strong fluency in information architecture: you understand how content taxonomy, metadata standards, and tagging frameworks affect both user experience and search and SEO performance
Experience working in or alongside editorial environments; you understand how newsrooms operate under deadline pressure and can translate that context into product decisions
Proven ability to translate content strategy into user-facing product decisions that serve audience needs across a multi-brand portfolio
Solid understanding of SEO principles as they relate to content architecture and page structure
Comfort navigating multi-brand complexity; you can hold standards that work across a portfolio of distinct properties without defaulting to a one-size-fits-all solution
Excellent written and verbal communication; you can write tight PRDs, present a roadmap to leadership, and facilitate alignment across opinionated editorial and engineering stakeholders
Active, practiced use of AI agents across research, synthesis, PRD drafting, stakeholder communications, and sprint preparation
Regular, on-site attendance at the workpla ce a minimum of 3 days per week is an essential function of this position
