What are the responsibilities and job description for the Strategy Manager position at The New York Times?
The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.
Mission Overview & Responsibilities
The New York Times is looking for a Manager to join the Strategy & Development team. Strategy & Development is a small, high-impact team that partners with senior executives including the Publisher, CEO and CFO to shape our strategy, and to translate that strategy into results.

And our strategy of providing journalism worth paying for has helped us rapidly grow our digital subscription business.
Still, we see enormous potential for growth and improvement. You will help leaders across News and all our products — Games, Wirecutter, Cooking, and The Athletic — as well as business leaders in Advertising and other areas, helping them address the most critical opportunities and challenges facing their teams and the company.
This is a project-based role with opportunity to lead high-profile, high-impact work that helps us achieve our enterprise goals, find new areas of growth, and increase our operations.
This role is based in our New York City headquarters.

Achieving true diversity and inclusion is the right thing to do. It is also the smart thing for our business.
