We deliver world-class, thought-provoking content through a range of formats, from web and app to print, conferences, film, and audio. What ties us together is the objectivity of our opinion, the originality of our insight, and our advocacy of economic and political freedom around the world.

    With a growing global subscriber base and a reputation for insightful analysis and opinion on every aspect of world events, The Economist is one of the most widely recognised and well-read current affairs publications and the foundation of our digital consumer product portfolio.

    As a Senior Product Manager for the Salesforce Platform team you will help define and build the roadmap for our subscribers and potential subscribers across platforms and geographies by building out a suite of flexible services and APIs that will enable customers to connect with us in new ways. You will participate in developing the Salesforce platform team strategy and vision, and develop product roadmaps to execute on that vision.
