Principal Product Manager, Front End Platform

About the role

You're a platform PM. But you're not here to build "platform value" in the abstract. You're here because the front end is where readers and advertisers meet our brands. Every decision you make should connect back to that. You'll be the person who holds the full picture: page performance, content rendering, ad product delivery, SEO, design system consistency, accessibility, developer velocity. You'll work across brand teams to understand what they need. You'll partner deeply with engineering and design to figure out what to build and what to leave alone. You'll make hard calls about standardization vs. flexibility and you'll be able to explain why.

Responsibilities

• Measure what matters. You define clear metrics for platform health: performance, quality, adoption, developer experience, consumer outcomes, ad delivery. You build dashboards and rituals that keep the team honest. You know the difference between a vanity metric and a useful one.
• Get comfortable in the mess. Platform work at a multi-brand company is inherently messy with competing priorities, legacy systems and ambiguity about who owns what. You don't wait for things to be clean before you move. You can hold complexity without being paralyzed by it.

Benefits

Additional Information

Condé Nast is a global media company producing the highest quality content with a footprint of more than 1 billion consumers in 32 territories through print, digital, video and social platforms. The company's portfolio includes many of the world's most respected and influential media properties including Vogue, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Self, GQ, The New Yorker, Condé Nast Traveler/Traveller, Allure, AD, Bon Appétit and Wired, among others. Job Description Location: New York, NY Job Description Condé Nast's audience platform is the front end that powers every digital experience across Vogue, The New Yorker, GQ, Bon Appétit, Vanity Fair, Wired and the rest of the portfolio. That means page performance, content rendering, ad delivery, SEO, design system components, accessibility and everything else that determines how millions of readers actually experience our brands on our owned properties and beyond. Wherever our content shows up (on-site, in apps, through syndication, on social, in search) the audience platform is the foundation. Advertisers depend on it. Brand teams build on it. It needs to be fast, beautiful and reliable. We're looking for a Principal PM to own the strategy for this platform. Your job is to make sure our front end enables best-in-class experiences for every brand and every piece of content, wherever it reaches an audience. You'll need to deeply understand two things: what makes a great consumer experience and what makes a great platform for the teams building those experiences. That tension is core to the role and you should be energized by it. You should also think about AI the way we do: not as a feature to bolt on but as something that changes how platform teams build, ship and maintain software. We want someone who's already working this way and can bring that mindset to how we evolve the audience platform.
