Your New Role

We are CNN. THE WORLD'S MOST ESSENTIAL AND ENGAGING SOURCE OF DIGITAL NEWS. We are in the midst of rapid transformation and need our next generation of innovators, makers, and dreamers who will lead and drive our growth. We aim to make the world a better, more connected place.

The CNN New Business team is pioneering the development of innovative, standalone products that go beyond news. We aim to create distinctive non-news experiences that will enrich users' lives and help drive our subscription business. As a Product Design Manager for New Business, you will oversee a small team of product designers supporting a high-impact, strategically complex initiative that is central to CNN's future. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, leads through influence, and has experience managing designers that deliver experiences across a variety of platforms and channels.

Your Role Accountabilities

• Lead the product design function for emerging, cross-platform digital products within CNN's New Business strategy.

• Manage and mentor a small team of product designers, fostering a positive and productive environment within a growing team.

• Guide the team's creation of compelling digital experiences in highly ambiguous areas, empowering designers to set vision and influence strategic decisions.

• Oversee execution of end-to-end designs that are original, intuitive, and seamless, crafted from a range of design artifacts, assessing and flexing deliverables to match project needs and contributing to execution when needed.

• Partner with product and technology stakeholders to translate business and customer needs into product and user experience opportunities.

• Proactively manage the design roadmap, organizing multiple projects and workstreams to ensure efficient delivery in an agile environment, while continuously communicating progress to key partners and stakeholders.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional experts in editorial, product, engineering, research, and growth, synthesizing multiple threads and business goals into a best-in-class product experience while exemplifying a customer-focused mentality.

• Champion thoughtful innovation by understanding the boundaries of each digital platform and the business, while knowing when to challenge convention, drive disruption, and reimagine what's possible for our users.

Qualifications & Experience

• 7+ years of experience as a cross-platform product designer, with at least 2+ years managing design teams. Experience in media companies is a plus.

• Experience successfully leading product design projects with continuous improvement and iteration, showing demonstrated impact for the customer and the business.

• Impeccable visual and interaction design skills.

• Mastery of best UX design practices, including usability principles, user research methodologies and testing techniques.

• Solid understanding of mobile and web technologies.

• Excellent written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills to clearly communicate design strategy to stakeholders and broader design leaders.
