[Hiring] Senior Product Marketing Manager @Lee Enterprises

Role Description

Lee Enterprises is seeking a Senior Product Marketing Manager to help the new products and advertising initiatives created by our Content Monetization team reach their full potential across our network of local news brands, through creative, sustained, organic promotion.

Reporting to the Senior Director, Advertising Product, you'll own organic promotion across video, social, email, and our owned channels, partnering closely with our paid media and subscriptions teams.

You'll partner directly with the Senior Director to shape our promotional strategy, bringing your own ideas to the table, and then bring it to life with real ownership of the work: creating the assets, executing campaigns end to end, and showing your impact through results. If you love turning a plan into results without needing someone looking over your shoulder, this role is for you.

• Power new advertising products
• Create marketing materials and promotional assets for new advertising products, equipping sales teams to sell them with confidence.
• Execute our video strategy
• Build and maintain the creative playbook that puts our video strategy into action, on and off platform.
• Coach editorial teams to bring video into their stories, create their own, and know when original video beats wire content.
• Elevate social content
• Track the layouts and themes that perform best on social media.
• Build new social layouts using our content automation tools.
• Help newsrooms grow their social brands and posts across every platform, guided by performance insights.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in product marketing, content marketing, digital marketing, or a similar role, ideally in media or publishing.
• A track record of independently executing promotional plans, from concept to results.
• Strong working knowledge of video best practices, including vertical and short-form video across platforms.
• Experience developing creative concepts and producing promotional assets, including social graphics, email, and short-form video.

• Confidence using data to measure performance and refine your approach.
• Excellent writing, communication, and project management skills.

• Content and social automation tools.
• Video syndication or video monetization.
• B2B or advertising product marketing.

Benefits

• Competitive wages in a dynamic, interesting work environment with career growth opportunities.
• Extensive benefit program that can be personalized to your needs.
• Medical, dental, vision, short and long-term disability, company provided life insurance and supplemental life insurance.
• 401K retirement plan with company match.
• Generous paid time off to allow the flexibility to balance personal life and work, including paid parental leave for new parents.
