Overview

The Director of Product owns product growth across WRAL Media’s digital platforms, including WRAL.com, the WRAL News app, the WRAL Weather app, and our CTV / smart TV apps. This is a growth and strategy role — not newsroom content ownership. The Director sets the product roadmap, prioritization, user-experience standards, and growth goals across every platform, and partners closely with Sales, Brand, News, and Technology to translate product opportunities into revenue-ready packages. Over time, this role becomes the organizational home for Data & Insights and will define and select a future Go-to-Market Strategy Lead.
