You will set the platform roadmap, translate business needs into clear requirements, and partner closely with engineering to deliver scalable, well-integrated systems. Data is central to the job. You will define the metrics that show whether our platform capabilities are working, and use them to decide what to build, fix or retire next.

Team Leadership (the “Coach”)

• Lead, coach and develop a small team of product managers, setting clear goals, KPIs and expectations.

• Define, instrument and track the metrics that show platform health, adoption and business impact.
• Use data and analytics to prioritize the roadmap, evaluate trade-offs, monitor performance and iterate on capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in adtech, digital out-of-home (DOOH), OOH or digital advertising, with an understanding of the challenges and opportunities in those industries.
