- Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate across the DV organization working with Verification and Measurement product teams to embed quality signals (brand safety, IVT, viewability, attention) into supply-layer optimization, and with Commercial and Product Marketing teams to structure go-to-market releases and create compelling narratives.
- Metrics & Measurement: Define success metrics and measurement frameworks for SSP optimization performance. Use data to build the business case for scaling across additional SSP partners and use cases.
Minimum Qualifications
- Work Experience: A minimum of 4 years of product management experience, with at least 2-3 years in ad tech or programmatic platforms.

- Technical Proficiency: Ability to engage with API-level integration design, data pipelines, and technical architecture discussions. Familiarity with programmatic data flows (OpenRTB, log-level data, impression-level signals).
- Humble & Data-Driven Decision Making: Focused on outcomes over ego. Experience defining and tracking product metrics in data-sparse or early-stage environments.
- Stakeholder Influence: Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive alignment across organizations. Comfortable navigating cross-functional dependencies across engineering, commercial, product marketing, and operations.
