About TEGNA
TEGNA Inc. helps people thrive in their local communities by providing the trusted local news and services that matter most. With 64 television stations in 51 U.S. markets, TEGNA reaches more than 100 million people monthly across the web, mobile apps, streaming, and linear television. Together, we are building a sustainable future for local news.
We're looking for a Product Owner to lead the evolution of TEGNA's Mobile Newsroom Platform on iOS and Android. More than just a mobile app, this platform is becoming the mobile operating system for our newsrooms, connecting journalists, producers, editors, photographers, and newsroom leaders to the people, stories, content, and AI-powered tools they need to do their best work from anywhere.
You'll own the roadmap for the mobile newsroom experience, helping transform how stories are planned, assigned, created, collaborated on, and published across TEGNA's nationwide newsroom network. Working at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Design, AI, and Editorial, you'll build products that make journalism faster, smarter, and more connected.
Who You Are
You are passionate about building products that empower people to do meaningful work. You have a strong product mindset, balancing customer needs, business priorities, and technical realities to deliver intuitive, high-impact solutions. You enjoy spending time with users, understanding their workflows, and translating complex newsroom operations into simple, elegant mobile experiences. You're equally comfortable discussing strategy with editorial leadership, refining user stories with Engineering, reviewing prototypes with Design, and validating ideas with customers. You don't simply deliver features. You solve problems, measure outcomes, and continuously improve the product. You're organized, pragmatic, and outcome-oriented, with a strong sense of ownership and a passion for building products that customers love. Moreover, you are motivated and inspired by TEGNA's mission to connect and serve local communities everywhere.
Scope of Responsibility
Lead a high-performing cross-functional product team (Product, Design, Engineering, and QA) responsible for TEGNA's Mobile Newsroom Platform across iOS and Android.
Own the product vision, roadmap, and backlog for the platform, partnering across Product, Engineering, AI, UX Research, and Editorial to continuously evolve it into the primary mobile workspace for journalists. Deliver capabilities that help users plan coverage, manage assignments, collaborate on stories, create mobile-first content, search and access media, leverage AI, and stay connected throughout the news gathering process.
Lead agile planning, backlog refinement, sprint execution, release planning, and stakeholder communication while continuously measuring product success through customer feedback, adoption metrics, and operational improvements.
Top Key Activities
- Product Vision & Platform Evolution: Define and execute the long-term vision for the Mobile Newsroom Platform, continuously identifying opportunities to simplify newsroom workflows and expand the platform into the primary mobile operating system for TEGNA's journalists.
- Backlog Ownership: Own and prioritize the product backlog, balancing customer needs, strategic initiatives, technical investments, and engineering capacity to ensure the team is always working on the highest-value opportunities.
- Customer Discovery: Spend regular time with journalists, producers, assignment editors, photographers, and newsroom leaders observing workflows, validating problems, and ensuring product investments solve meaningful newsroom challenges.
- Requirements & Backlog Refinement: Translate newsroom workflows and customer feedback into clear epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and product requirements. Maintain a healthy, prioritized backlog that supports predictable delivery.
- Sprint Planning & Delivery: Partner closely with Design, Engineering, and QA throughout sprint cycles to ensure high-quality execution, rapid decision making, and successful delivery of capabilities across iOS and Android.
- Editorial Partnership: Build trusted relationships with editorial leadership and newsroom stakeholders across the company, serving as the primary product partner for mobile newsroom workflows and ensuring product priorities align with business and customer needs.
- AI Workflow Integration: Identify opportunities to incorporate AI into newsroom workflows through capabilities such as metadata generation, workflow automation, and other productivity-enhancing experiences.
- Strategy & Roadmap Definition: Contribute to product strategy and roadmap development in partnership with Product Leadership, ensuring the Mobile Newsroom Platform aligns with TEGNA's broader vision for content creation and newsroom transformation.
- User Research & Analytics: Partner with UX Research to validate opportunities, test solutions, and analyze customer behavior. Use qualitative research and product analytics to measure success and prioritize future investments.
- Continuous Improvement: Monitor adoption, engagement, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency metrics to identify opportunities for continuous improvement and measurable customer impact.
- Communications: Lead stakeholder communications covering roadmap priorities, release plans, delivery progress, launch readiness, dependencies, tradeoffs, risks, and post-launch performance.
Domain Acumen
- Experience building or supporting mobile-first products on iOS and Android with a strong understanding of native mobile user experience principles.
