The New York Times is seeking an Audience Deputy, Strategy and Enterprise to define and action ambitious new approaches for growing our global readership. This person will act as the primary bridge between the newsroom and key enterprise departments like Product, Partnerships, Growth and Comms on newsroomwide priorities to ensure we are pulling all editorial and product levers to build engaged audiences at scale. You will report to the Newsroom Audience Director, helping them ensure our audience strategy is both ambitious and operationally rigorous as well as defining team norms and career ladders to support managers across functions.

The ideal candidate is a systems-thinker who is eager to partner on cross-functional strategic projects while keeping a pulse on the rapidly evolving AI and platform landscape. We are looking for a proactive leader who is as adept at redeploying resources for sudden shifts as they are at architecting long-term growth for new audiences.
