As a colleague, you will be part of a culture that values ideas, encourages ownership and holds itself to high standards.

Here, fresh thinking is taken seriously, ambition is matched by integrity, and great work is recognised. Working across disciplines, geographies and perspectives, we are united by a commitment to innovation, excellence and creating meaningful impact. As our digital subscription business grows, so does the importance of delivering thoughtful, frictionless, and value-driven experiences across the entire subscriber lifecycle. We are seeking a motivated Associate Product Manager to join our Subscriber Growth & Lifecycle product pillar. In this role, you will support the continuous improvement of subscription journeys that maximise subscriber lifetime value and foster long-term loyalty across web and app. This is a hands-on role with strong exposure to strategy and delivery. You will contribute to initiatives across retention, upgrades, and customer care, working closely with experienced product managers, engineers, analysts, marketers, and customer operations teams. It offers a valuable opportunity to develop deep expertise in subscription products, monetisation, and experimentation within a globally recognised media organisation.

• Exceptional collaboration and communication skills: You are a natural collaborator who can work effectively with designers, engineers, analysts, and operational teams. You can articulate your ideas clearly and persuasively, and you are a great listener.
• A "go-getter" mindset with high autonomy: You are a self-starter who takes initiative and can run with things independent
