The Role - Business Analyst, Digital Product Management
In this role, the Business Analyst will help shape and evolve the digital experiences that bring A+E’s brands and stories to audiences across A&E, HISTORY, and other editorial sites. You will launch new features and manage ongoing enhancements, partnering with Editorial, UX/UI, Engineering, and other teams to translate business and audience needs into thoughtful, scalable solutions.
You will contribute throughout the product lifecycle—from identifying opportunities and defining requirements to prioritizing work, supporting delivery, and evaluating results. Success requires the ability to balance audience needs, business priorities, and technical considerations while bringing structure and clarity to complex initiatives.
You will also oversee the content management systems (CMS) that support our editorial experiences, helping ensure that platforms and workflows remain stable, intuitive, and adaptable. You will work closely with editorial producers to understand their day-to-day needs, identify pain points, and translate opportunities into actionable product and technical requirements.
More About What You’ll Do
• Partner with editorial producers, Engineering, UX/UI, and other stakeholders to understand business and audience needs and translate them into clear product and technical requirements.
• Define and document workflows, use cases, user stories, acceptance criteria, and other requirements needed to design, build, test, and launch new capabilities.
• Prioritize initiatives and enhancements by balancing audience impact, editorial and business goals, technical considerations, dependencies, and available resources.
• Guide new features and enhancements through the product development lifecycle, maintaining stakeholder alignment and proactively identifying risks, questions, and dependencies.
• Manage and continuously improve the CMS platforms that support A+E’s editorial sites, with a focus on efficient, reliable, and scalable tools and workflows.
• Partner with editorial producers to evaluate current processes, identify inefficiencies, and implement technology or workflow improvements that make content creation and publishing easier.
• Collaborate with UX/UI and Engineering to evaluate solutions, understand technical tradeoffs, and ensure experiences meet user and business needs.
• Oversee the implementation and ongoing evolution of privacy and consent-management initiatives across digital experiences.
• Partner with Legal and Engineering to translate privacy requirements into actionable product and technical changes and support responsible data practices.
• Support testing and validation to ensure new features meet defined requirements and deliver the intended experience.
• Monitor launched experiences, stakeholder feedback, and available data to identify opportunities for optimization.
• Stay current on emerging technologies, audience behaviors, privacy trends, and digital publishing capabilities, identifying opportunities to evolve our products, platforms, and ways of working.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across creative, editorial, business, design, legal, and technical teams.

• Ability to balance immediate business needs with longer-term product and platform considerations, creating scalable solutions rather than one-off fixes.
