About The New York Times

The nine sales-titled openings at The Times are planning, service and partnership desks, not quota-carrying ad sellers: they sit around an advertising team of more than 400 people that sells print, digital, audio, newsletter and live event placements across The Times, Cooking, Wirecutter, Games and The Athletic, plus custom work from its in-house studio, to brands and their agencies. In ad sales support, a sales planner builds media plans, checks avails and moves RFPs through to insertion orders for a pod of sellers, a client success manager runs campaigns and renewals for a set of top-tier accounts, a junior campaign manager launches and tunes digital campaigns, an agency development coordinator stages lunch-and-learns and summits meant to shift how agencies see The Times, and a director of strategy leads the cross-category teams that build the creative angle for pitches. Two summer 2027 interns (business operations and enablement, and revenue operations) fill out that group. Outside advertising, a director of strategic partnerships negotiates multi-part deals with the largest tech platforms covering subscriptions, content and AI licensing, product integrations and ads, and a marketing manager builds AI tools and workflows for the marketing team. All nine are in New York, most hybrid with three office days a week, and the planner and client success seats are NewsGuild union jobs.
