Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve the AI editorial product vision and roadmap, translating editorial ambition into a sequenced, prioritized plan with clear outcomes.
  • Define the use-case portfolio across the format taxonomy, from simple transformations to multimodal and assembled experiences, and determine sequencing and prioritization.
  • Tie every investment to a clear business outcome, and bring rigor to the portfolio, adjusting priorities based on performance and opportunity.
  • Serve as the connective tissue between editorial, consumer, and platforms teams working on AI initiatives.
  • Build strong relationships across editorial, standards, platform, and engineering, aligning partners who do not report to you.
  • Own the governance horizontal for AI editorial product, including accuracy thresholds, disclosure, attribution, rights, provenance, and permissioning.
  • Partner with AI enablement organizations across CNN and Warner Bros. Discovery at large, to align on shared platforms, standards, and governance.
  • Lead with user-need discovery and validation, earning the newsroom’s trust without disrupting live workflows.
  • Identify and improve the processes that help multiple teams work better, and expand from org-wide influence to cross-org strategic leadership.
  • Act as a trusted partner in helping teams leverage AI capabilities to move faster and deliver higher-impact, higher-trust outcomes.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in product management with a proven track record of delivering innovative consumer-facing products.
  • 3+ years working with AI/ML technologies, including experience with large language models, recommendation systems, or generative interfaces.
  • Proven ability to lead multiple product areas and teams, delivering measurable business outcomes in complex environments.
  • Direct experience with AI and machine learning products, including LLMs, retrieval and RAG, evaluation and quality measurement, and model and platform tradeoffs, with the ability to hold a credible technical conversation with platform and ML engineers.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead through influence in a highly cross-functional environment.
  • Exceptional communication skills, especially in translating technical complexity into stakeholder-aligned narratives.
  • Deep empathy for news consumers and a sharp editorial sense; passion for making news more accessible, relevant, and impactful.
  • Experience working in a mission-driven or regulated environment (media, health, education, etc.) is a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with editorial standards and AI governance is a plus.
  • Bachelor’s degree or commensurate experience.
