The Centre of Excellence represents an exciting opportunity for digital product managers, analysts and data-driven leaders who want to help lead and grow a new team that will have global impact, taking advantage of a new global momentum around connecting and trading digitally, and supporting a wide range of industry sectors to build their businesses back better after the pandemic.

About the Senior Product Manager for Content Propositions role

You will play a global leadership role in understanding the needs of our B2B and B2C customers when it comes to staying ahead of their industry or fan interest, and developing scalable content propositions to meet their needs, attract traffic, and drive registration for our events and leads for our digital products. In addition, you will advance existing business model thinking around both advertising- and subscription-driven value propositions, testing and learning to get the best and most sustainable balance of revenue sources, to drive double-digit growth for our key events and brands.

You will have the opportunity to operate in both B2C and B2B markets. Our B2C brands include leading videogame websites such as Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun and EGX, which offer both advertising- and subscription-driven value propositions, as well as the world-famous NewYork and London ComicCons. On the B2B side, we operate in diverse sectors such as renewable energy, travel, cosmetics, gifting and many others. Our intent is that this role will lead our companywide thinking on how content value propositions can be best created and monetised, helping individual brands and event teams decide where and how to play with content-based offerings, and how to rapidly experiment and iterate new business models.
