Since launching in London in 2007, Monocle has grown from an independent magazine into an international media brand encompassing print, digital, a round‑clock radio station, books, newsletters, events, shops, e-commerce and cafés. Our website sits at the centre of this world, bringing our journalism, audio, subscriptions and retail offering to an international audience. You will join a curious, creative and international group of people who care deeply about ideas, design and quality.

About the role: In addition to Monocle’s editorial work, our digital ecosystem includes subscription account management, a radio station and an e-commerce platform. As part of the digital team, the Product Manager is responsible for ensuring that we have a clear roadmap, our stakeholders and agency partners are engaged and informed, and the digital team and its external partners are up to speed with feature development, fixes and automation.

Responsibilities will include:

• Product strategy: Work with the Head of Digital to help define and communicate the product strategy for Monocle’s digital ecosystem and how it supports our global media brand. Collaborate with our agency partners and internal teams to build exceptional products. Use data-driven insights to inform strategic decisions and guide product development. Manage stakeholder expectations across our diverse international operation. Prioritise initiatives that drive the highest-value outcomes for both users and the business.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Act as the bridge between technical and non-technical colleagues, translating complex concepts. Facilitate collaboration through regular team co‑ordination and clear communication, building trust and credibility.

• Between three and five years of product management experience, ideally in a publishing, subscriptions and/or e-commerce environment.
• Experience working within agile methodology.
• A keen interest in the Monocle brand and its digital potential.
• Experience aligning cross-functional teams while juggling the competing priorities of multiple stakeholders.
• Previous success in rapidly building trust and credibility at all levels of a business.
• Ability to own product requirement discovery and alignment.
• A suite of tools and methods at your disposal to work efficiently throughout the product lifecycle.
• Experience working with external engineering teams and agency partners is desirable but not essential.
