Executive Director, Product and Technology
About Endpoints News: Founded in 2016, Endpoints News is a leading news media company dedicated to delivering the best news product in biopharma and serving as the essential daily read for industry leaders worldwide. Now part of the Financial Times family, Endpoints News has 290,000+ registered readers and offers breaking news, in-depth analysis, live and virtual events, and award-winning journalism.
The Role
We are seeking an Executive Director, Product and Technology who is focused on turning great ideas into products for our readers, newsroom, and business teams. You will report to the Managing Director and work closely with newsroom and business leadership to build tools, features, and infrastructure that serve our readers and power our business. This role combines hands-on engineering with strategic decision-making and people leadership.
What Youll Do
- Lead technical architecture and drive build and delivery across the Endpoints ecosystem, including core news platforms, subscription and identity systems, survey and data products, and events infrastructure.
- Make pragmatic build/buy/integrate decisions with a bias toward modern tooling (including AI and LLM-powered workflows) to ship faster.
- Partner directly with editorial and business leadership to translate ideas into shipped features and move as fast as the newsroom demands.
- Review, refine, and ship code and products created by non-engineering team members (including AI-assisted builds from editorial and business stakeholders), evaluating them and getting solid work into production quickly.
- Lead and grow the tech and engineering team, set standards, unblock people, and build a culture of speed and craftsmanship.
- Work closely with senior leadership to shape product direction and maintain a bias toward solutions and implementation.
What Were Looking For
- Mid-career technical leader who has set architecture direction and shipped products at a high-velocity startup or product-driven company, with experience in media, publishing, or an adjacent space.
- LLM-native: uses AI tools as a core part of workflow and understands how they expand capabilities for non-engineers.
- A proven builder with strong full-stack or backend engineering fundamentals who is still actively writing code.
- Comfortable in a player-coach role: managing a small team while remaining hands-on and focused on outcomes.
- Based in the United States; role is fully remote.
Compensation
Total compensation opportunity: ~$220,000 (inclusive of approximately $180,000 base salary and ~$40,000 annual bonus). Salary information is subject to change and may vary based on location, experience, and qualifications.
What We Offer
Work From Anywhere (US); positive, supportive, and collaborative culture; generous PTO plus company holidays; benefits including medical (Endpoints pays 70% of premiums for employee, spouse, and/or dependents), dental and vision, disability, life and AD&D insurance, MDLIVE telehealth, paid family leave, paid volunteer days, 401(k) matching, equipment provided, monthly WFH stipend ($75), annual home office stipend ($500), and access to a benefits marketplace and legal services.
