Job description

About Our Team The Washington Post is powered by the passion and talent of our people. It takes all of us to reinvent news. Beyond our award‑winning Newsroom and Opinions teams, we work across many departments, including Brand & Events, Communications, Customer Care, Engineering & Product, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Marketing & Advertising, Print Operations, and Sales. Why This Role Matters At the Washington Post, reader revenue powers independent journalism. Digital Subscriptions—and the paid media that fuels subscriber acquisition—represent one of the company’s most important and dynamic growth engines. This role helps ensure that growth is not only strong, but economically sound. By connecting funnel performance, pricing strategy, retention dynamics, and marketing investment to financial outcomes, you will help leadership make informed, durable decisions. Reporting to the Director of Finance, Strategy & Growth, this position offers direct exposure to senior Finance and Growth leaders and supports one of the Post’s most strategically significant P&L areas. This role is based in Washington, DC and works on‑site five days per week. What Motivates You You are intellectually curious about how subscription businesses scale—and what makes them profitable. You enjoy working at the intersection of data, experimentation, and financial strategy. You are motivated by turning ambiguity into structure and clarity. You value rigorous analysis that informs real decisions, not just reporting. You take ownership of your work and follow through on details. You are comfortable engaging with business partners and contributing perspective. How You'll Support the Mission – Key Responsibilities Support forecasting and long‑range planning to improve the predictability and transparency of Digital Subscription revenue and contribution margin. Enhance driver‑based models that link acquisition, conversion, retention, and ARPU trends to financial performance. Analyze LTV/CAC by channel and cohort to inform marketing investment efficiency and capital allocation. Evaluate pricing tests, promotional strategies, and bundling initiatives to clarify downstream margin implications. Develop structured variance bridges and KPI reporting to help leadership quickly understand performance drivers. Contribute financial insight to QBRs and strategic investment discussions to elevate decision quality. Improve planning and reporting workflows to increase analytical depth while reducing manual effort. Qualifications 5+ years of FP&A, strategic finance, or growth‑focused analytical experience, ideally in a subscription, consumer‑tech, or performance‑marketing environment. Experience contributing to forecasting, budgeting, or scenario modelling in a dynamic operating context. Strong foundation in driver‑based modelling, cohort analysis, and sensitivity testing. Advanced Excel proficiency and disciplined model design. Experience with Hyperion/Smart View and Tableau preferred. Comfort working with large datasets and synthesizing insights for senior stakeholders. Clear written and verbal communication skills. Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or related field. Nice to have: familiarity with SQL or Python for exploratory analysis. Compensation and Benefits Salary Range: $85,100 – $127,700 annual. The actual salary will depend on individual skills, experience, and qualifications. This position may be eligible for a bonus or incentive program. Competitive medical, dental and vision coverage Company‑paid pension and 401(k) match Three weeks of vacation and up to three weeks of paid sick leave Nine paid holidays and two personal days 20 weeks paid parental leave for any new parent Robust mental health resources Backup care and caregiver concierge services Gender‑affirming services Pet insurance Free Post digital subscription Leadership and career development programs #J-18808-Ljbffr
