ABOUT THE ROLE
FOX is seeking a Product Manager, Editorial to join the Consumer Products & Engineering team.

In addition, this role will take ownership of product documentation strategy, ensuring clarity, usability, and adoption across all stakeholder groups.
A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Define and evolve the product roadmap for CMS and Video CMS platforms, with a strong emphasis on AI-enabled editorial workflows, content intelligence, and automation.
  • Identify opportunities where AI enhances content creation, enrichment, publishing, discovery, and quality assurance across newsroom operations.
  • Partner with Engineering, Design, and Data teams to design, test, and ship AI-powered features such as content suggestions, metadata enrichment, summarization, tagging, validation, and workflow automation.
  • Prioritize and manage a backlog of AI and non-AI features, experiments, and technical improvements with an Agile delivery team.
  • Work directly with reporters, editors, and producers to observe workflows, evaluate AI feature adoption, and identify friction points.
  • Translate editorial needs into clear product requirements for AI systems, including model inputs, outputs, guardrails, confidence indicators, and human-in-the-loop review.
  • Own and scale product documentation, including product specs, workflows, system behaviors, and user-facing guidance to ensure consistency and accessibility across teams.
  • Establish documentation standards and best practices, ensuring all features and systems are clearly documented for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Partner with training, editorial, and change management teams to create and maintain documentation that supports onboarding, adoption, and ongoing product education.
  • Collaborate with Senior Product Managers to align AI initiatives with business goals, editorial standards, and platform strategy.
  • Drive internal alignment and trust around AI capabilities, including transparency, editorial control, and responsible use.
  • Partner with Product Managers across FOX business units to share AI patterns, platform capabilities, and reusable services.
  • Write detailed product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for Engineering and Infrastructure teams supporting AI features.
  • Contribute to training materials and change-management efforts to support newsroom adoption of AI tools.
