Job Description
About the Position
The New York Times is looking for a motivated, curious and collaborative marketing intern to support its early-stage audio app: New York Times Audio.
You would report to the director of product marketing for Audio and help support the app's initial launch and onboarding and engagement efforts directly thereafter.
About The New York Times
Every day, journalists at The New York Times report more than 200 stories from dozens of countries around the world on topics ranging from international events, the best way to roast a chicken, modern love stories, the art of decoding crossword clues, expert product recommendations on everything from wine glasses to washing machines, and in the words of Michael Barbaro, host of "The Daily" podcast, we tell you "everything-else-you-need-to-know-today." Ultimately, our suite of subscription products helps curious people cook, watch, listen, play and shop in enjoyable and fulfilling ways.
Why You Should Apply
This marketing internship is a unique opportunity to gain perspective on how to scale a nascent consumer brand and product, while also honing your ability to think at the portfolio strategy level - learning how to cultivate a sense of brand cohesion across a diversified portfolio of content types and products.
This internship is well suited for someone who is likely a performance or growth marketer looking to grow their experience with product marketing management or an M.B.A. student looking to incubate marketing programs across the upper, mid and lower funnel.

In addition, you'll play a hands-on role in contributing to the day-to-day work of launching and measuring marketing programs that deliver against our enterprise marketing remit to persuade people that The New York Times's quality, independent journalism is worth paying for.
These responsibilities may include but are not limited to:
- Play a contributing role in evaluating various growth and engagement strategies for how we scale app downloads for the Audio app after its launch
- Conduct competitive, cultural and industry research on key trends that present headwinds and tailwinds for user needs, features, and product enhancements germane to the audio space

- Shadow marketing team members to better understand the end-to-end process of planning, launching and evaluating end-to-end marketing campaigns
