Times ARC is in a launch and growth stage, presenting an exciting opportunity to use data to drive decisions and implement features that align with a high-impact product led approach. As part of a change to the way the Data & AI team operate, this role will be embedded deeply within The Times Audience & Editorial teams, helping build a clear understanding of their challenges and shaping the right solutions to meet them.

Day to day you will:

• Balance short-term feature delivery with long-term newsroom data strategy to maintain clear momentum.

• Manage the 12-month product roadmap for Times ARC to deliver clarity and alignment for all key stakeholders.

• Collaborate directly with editorial and audience teams to prioritise features using real user feedback and objective measures.

• Partner early with delivery, design, and engineering disciplines to ensure clear understanding of requirements.

• Build strong cross-functional relationships across News UK to support smooth product rollouts and share best practices.

What we're looking for from you:

• Proven track record of leading the vision, strategy, and delivery of both customer-facing and internal products, ideally within fast-paced technology or SaaS environments.

• Experience working collaboratively within cross-functional software delivery squads alongside design, engineering, and data science disciplines.

• Proven ownership of end-to-end product lifecycle—from discovery and roadmap definition through launch, iteration, and optimisation—balancing user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.

• Skill in defining success metrics and analysing product performance to make continuous, data-informed improvements.

• Clear communication style with the ability to articulate product vision, align priorities, and build trust with diverse stakeholder groups.

• User-first mindset focused on understanding user pain points and translating operational needs into intuitive product features.
