Job details:
IE Media, Inc. is a leading, global digital media publisher that covers technology, engineering, and science news. We deliver the most futuristic and cutting-edge developments in these areas to our readers and followers on social media through articles and videos.
IE’s fast-paced and collaborative international work environment celebrates quality and ethical journalism. The team includes a diverse group of infinitely curious individuals from all around the world who share a joint passion for sharing the latest and the most important info with the world, as we believe knowledge is power.
We're looking for a Growth Product Owner who owns outcomes, not tickets. You'll take full ownership of the product and growth mechanics that turn our large audience into engaged, paying subscribers: the IE+ paywall and checkout, the app experience, and — critically — our newsletter and email deliverability infrastructure. You'll work directly with the CEO and the growth, editorial, and engineering teams.
This is a hands-on ownership role. When a subscription funnel underperforms or a deliverability issue appears, we expect you to diagnose it, plan the fix, and drive it — not wait for a brief.
What you'll own:
- Paywall strategy (metered / freemium / hard), pricing, welcome offers, and packaging
- Checkout and billing (Stripe / Braintree / RevenueCat), failed-payment recovery (dunning)
- Churn, retention, and LTV across the full subscriber lifecycle
- Newsletter growth and the health of our sending infrastructure
- Sender reputation, IP/domain warm-up, subdomain strategy, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, list hygiene
- Partnering with the CRM/growth team on segmentation, lifecycle journeys, and send strategy
- Engagement, retention, and in-app subscriptions across iOS and Android
- App Store / Play lifecycle, push strategy, and new engagement features (tools, quizzes, games)
- Build an A/B testing culture; define and track the metrics that matter — subscriber growth, open rate, conversion, LTV, engagement
- Analytics with Amplitude / Mixpanel / GA4
Requirements:
- 4+ years in product/growth, with real, hands-on ownership of a subscription business
- Demonstrable experience with email deliverability — you've planned an IP/domain warm-up, managed sender reputation, and understand exactly why a subdomain migration can crater open rates if it isn't done right
- Experience with app product (in-app subscriptions, engagement, App Store / Play)
- Strong analytics and experimentation background (Amplitude / Mixpanel / GA4, A/B testing)
- An owner's mindset: you anticipate what a task actually requires and expand the scope when the work demands it, rather than executing a brief literally and handing it off
- Excellent written English and comfort working async
- Background at a subscription-driven digital publisher or media company
- Familiarity with Google Discover / SEO and how it feeds a subscription funnel
- Fluency with modern AI tooling in a product workflow
What we offer:
- Competitive monthly compensation, engaged as a full-time contractor via Deel
- A performance bonus tied to subscription and engagement KPIs
- Remote. You'll overlap with our core hours on Istanbul time (GMT+3) — a natural fit for most of Europe.
- Equity (stock options)
- Real ownership and direct access to leadership, in a brand with global reach
- Birthday leave
- 20+ days PTO
We help you to grow:
- Continuous learning opportunities with mentorship, on-the-job and internal-external training programs
- Dynamic and collaborative work ecosystem where you can take initiative and responsibility
