- We are looking for a Director Product Manager to advance our identity resolution capabilities and build future-proof identity and activation solutions. You will own product strategy and roadmap across both identity and activation, bring a clear point of view on where the market is heading, and turn that into products customers want to buy
- This is a senior role for someone who can operate at two altitudes. You set direction and vision, and you are also hands‑on: close to customers, close to engineering, and comfortable making the calls on what gets built and in what order. You will play a meaningful part in expanding our client base, which means you understand the market, the buyers, and what it takes to win them
- Own the product vision and roadmap for identity resolution and activation, and make the prioritization calls that keep the team focused on what matters most
- Advance our identity resolution product: graph building and enrichment, cross‑device and cross‑identifier linking, and interoperability
- Own the activation side with equal weight: audience activation, data orchestration, and delivery across a broad and growing set of destinations, including platforms and DSPs, in cloud‑native environments
- Develop a clear understanding of the market and competitive landscape, and translate it into product positioning and roadmap decisions that expand the client base
- Partner directly with customers and commercial teams to understand what they need, and translate commercial requirements into clear, buildable specifications for engineering
- Work hands‑on with engineering day to day to deliver, unblock decisions quickly, and keep the roadmap moving
- Own privacy and data governance considerations across the product, so that identity and activation are built to a privacy‑first standard from the start
- Define the success metrics for the products you own, and use them to guide investment and iteration
