Director, AI Partnerships & IP Management

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It's why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It's why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it's why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it's worth paying for.

About the Role

The Strategic Partnerships team manages how The Times engages with platforms and other large companies at a corporate level, to support our journalistic and revenue goals. This includes partnering with the newsroom on how we distribute our content, working with product teams to optimize our experiences and identify new areas for product development, executing bespoke, strategic deals, and ensuring strong executive relationships.

The team also plays a leadership role in how the company monitors, protects and enforces the use of our IP, developing the strategies to build partnerships for use of our IP, understanding the landscape of tech and AI companies and products across all levels of the tech stack, and staying up to date on industry trends that can inform product and deal-making decisions.

As the Director of AI Partnerships & IP Management, you will lead our efforts in AI and IP, serving as a key resource for cross-functional teams across the newsroom, product, legal, and communications. You will identify, analyze, and execute new partnerships, demonstrating their value. This role is ideal for a leader who can succeed at the intersection of technology, product, and business.

You will be an individual contributor on the leadership team and report to the SVP, Chief of Staff to the CEO.

The right Director must meet the following criteria :

  • Have business development experience and be comfortable engaging in a room full of technical people.
  • Remain flexible and be enthusiastic and open to changing priorities and circumstances.
  • Effectively convey information to internal and external stakeholders.

  • Understand and monitor the ever-expanding world of bots, agents and crawlers, manage content protection vendor(s), run regular processes to evaluate Times practices, and inform decision-making on the right tools and technology to support IP protection
  • Remain up to date on evolving technical measures (commercial products that might be less expensive and more purpose-built; other tools; standard-setting; etc.), and proactively educate the cross-functional team on these and other relevant topics
  • Commission research and investigations teams to support more advanced requests, such as interpreting whitepapers
  • Develop a deep and comprehensive perspective of the technical and product landscape to understand new and emerging developers, as well as the latest products from existing developers, and to track how Times content is being used off of Times platforms
  • Produce market research and analysis to better understand the shape of the emerging market and to gain insight into how developers are accessing and using Times content
  • Help teams and leaders understand the implications of new products and changes to existing platforms, and, where appropriate, work with engineering, product and legal to evaluate our position and consider action
  • Collaborate on complex deals that span multiple parts of the business including IP licensing (including AI licensing), subscriptions, product integrations and advertising, developing deal frameworks, financial analysis, negotiation strategies, and execution plans
  • Work with The Times's newsrooms and product teams to support content distribution strategies and opportunities
  • Actively manage relationships between The Times's executives and strategic partners
  • Be able to engage in lateral leadership and drive results from cross-functional teams
  • Prepare executive briefing materials and facilitate meetings with internal stakeholders and develop detailed communications strategies for internal stakeholders that the entire team implements
  • Ensure the smooth management of deals and partner relationships post-execution
  • Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.

    • Basic Qualifications :
