• Support feature discovery and definition by writing user stories, acceptance criteria, and lightweight product specifications
• Assist with A/B test planning and analysis, helping measure the impact of new features on reader engagement and conversion
• Contribute to product roadmap planning by gathering inputs from editorial, engineering, and reader feedback channels
• Track and report on key product metrics including reader growth, engagement rates, newsletter conversion, and content performance
• Coordinate with engineering and design teams during feature development, ensuring clear communication of requirements and timelines
• Manage the feature request backlog, triaging and prioritizing inputs from internal stakeholders and reader feedback
• Support the launch process for new features — preparing documentation, coordinating announcements, and monitoring post-launch metrics
• Research emerging trends in digital media, content delivery, and reader engagement to identify opportunities for The Meridiem
• Document product processes, decision rationale, and learnings to build institutional knowledge

Requirements

• Curiosity about the technology industry and a habit of consuming tech news and analysis
• Ability to manage multiple workstreams and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment
• A collaborative mindset and comfort working with cross-functional teams
• Self-motivation and the ability to work independently in a remote-first environment
