Job description

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for Gen’s Content Platform, spanning the modern headless CMS and the legacy WordPress/custom CMS stack.


• Lead the content architecture strategy — content models, taxonomies, component libraries, and reuse patterns across surfaces and brands.


• Drive consolidation and migration from legacy CMS implementations onto a unified headless CMS, in close partnership with Engineering.


• Build the content authoring and governance experience so non-engineering teams (PMM, lifecycle, brand, SEO) can self-serve safely at scale.


• Define the AI-readiness of the content platform — structured, machine-readable content that enables LLM-driven content generation, automated tagging, taxonomy management, and AI-powered personalization.


• Partner with the Web Experiences PM to ensure the rendering layer and the content layer compose cleanly across MoneyLion web, GoBankingRates, CardCritics, and the syndication network.


• Define KPIs for platform adoption, time-to-publish, content reuse, and engineering-dependency reduction.


• Set experimentation and measurement standards for content impact on conversion, engagement, and SEO.


• Manage CMS and content-ops vendor relationships, and lead buy-vs-build decisions across the content stack.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Design, Information Systems, or related field; advanced degree a plus.


• 7+ years of product management experience for L10, or 10+ years for L11, with meaningful time spent on content platforms, CMS, web infrastructure, or developer platforms.


• Deep experience with headless CMS platforms (Contentful, Sanity, Contentstack, Strapi, or similar) and the architectural tradeoffs of modern vs. legacy content systems.


• Strong understanding of content modeling, taxonomy design, component-based design systems, and structured content.


• Proven track record leading CMS consolidation, re-platforming, or migration programs off legacy stacks (WordPress, custom CMS, etc.).


• Familiarity with rendering strategies (SSR/SSG/ISR), web performance, and the SEO implications of content architecture.


• Ability to define AI-ready content architecture (content-as-data, embeddings, tagging, taxonomies).


• Strong collaboration with design-system and front-end engineering teams.


• Exceptional written and verbal communication; able to translate platform decisions into business outcomes.


• Strong data literacy preferred.

Core Competencies

Demonstrates expertise in product management for content platforms, with a focus on headless CMS architecture, content modeling, and AI-readiness. Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams in consolidating and migrating legacy systems while ensuring effective content governance and performance metrics.
