Condé Nast - New York, NY
Hiring: Principal Product Manager, GQ & Pitchfork Company: Condé Nast Location: New York, NY Job Posted Time: 2026-09-14 14:57:29 Target Skills & Keywords : A/B Testing, Agile, Figma, Product Management, Product Strategy, Project Management About the job Experience: •10+ years of product management experience in digital media, publishing, or consumer-facing products — with a track record of shipping great web experiences, not just managing roadmaps. You can point to specific things you built, what they moved, and what you learned. Required Skills: •Condé Nast is looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead digital product for two of the most culturally iconic brands in media — GQ, the definitive voice in men's style, culture, and identity, and Pitchfork, the standard-bearer for music criticism and discovery. •GQ and Pitchfork share almost nothing except the standard they set. Different audiences, different business models, different editorial cultures, different product priorities. You'll own both simultaneously, and the best person for this role doesn't just manage that complexity, they're genuinely energised by it. •This isn't a role for someone who manages a backlog. It's a role for someone who reads both mastheads religiously, has strong opinions about the products, and wants to shape what it means to experience these brands digitally - with experimentation, prototyping, and data at the centre of how they work. •You are AI-native - not curious about AI, but already building with it. You bring that lens to every product decision, and you move fast: from idea to prototype to test to ship. •Own the product strategy and roadmap for GQ and Pitchfork's digital experiences — web, and whatever comes next. •Develop a deep, specific point of view on what makes each brand's product exceptional: GQ's intersection of style, culture, and commerce; Pitchfork's role in how music fans discover, contextualise, and obsess over music. •Protect and extend what makes these brands irreplaceable while pushing their digital experiences into genuinely new territory. •Pitchfork's paywall launched in early 2026 — you'll inherit it, interrogate it, and own what comes next. That means developing a sharp, evidence-based point of view on how to grow a subscriber base without eroding the cultural reach that makes Pitchfork worth subscribing to in the first place. Compensation: •$185,000 - $215,000 / year •Bonus: experience at a media or publishing company — you already know the rhythms of editorial culture and publishing Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
