Role description
Hybrid/on-site expectations are minimal, as needed, likely a couple times per month. Principle Product Manager - Retail Media Network About the Role We are building a next-generation Retail Media Network (RMN) that leverages our rich first-party shopper data and retail ecosystem to deliver impactful advertising solutions for brands while enhancing the customer experience. We are seeking a senior product leader to define and execute the vision, strategy, and roadmap for our retail media platform. This role sits at the intersection of ad tech, retail, and product innovation — working across engineering, data science, sales, marketing, and merchandising teams. You will lead the development of ad products, campaign management tools, targeting capabilities, and reporting/attribution solutions that drive advertiser value and retail revenue while protecting customer experience. What We Offer • Opportunity to define and shape a new retail media network from the ground up. • Collaborative, fast-paced environment with direct impact on business growth. • Competitive compensation and benefits package. • A role at the forefront of the fastest-growing segment of digital advertising. Key Responsibilities • Define and own the product strategy and roadmap for our Retail Media Network. • Build advertiser-facing solutions: self-serve campaign creation, targeting, optimization, and reporting dashboards. • Partner with engineering to deliver scalable, privacy-compliant platforms (ad serving, audience segmentation, attribution). • Drive innovation in ad formats (onsite sponsored products, offsite display, CTV/streaming, etc.). • Develop and maintain measurement and attribution frameworks (closed-loop reporting, incrementality testing). • Collaborate with data science and analytics teams to leverage first-party retail data for targeting and insights. • Lead product discovery, testing, and experimentation to validate new opportunities. Qualifications • 12+ years of product management experience, with at least 5+ years in ad tech, martech, or retail media. • Experience building advertiser self-serve platforms or working in a two-sided marketplace (retailers + advertisers). • Strong technical fluency — ability to collaborate with engineering on APIs, ad delivery systems, data pipelines, and reporting platforms. • Deep understanding of ad tech ecosystem (DSPs/SSPs, ad servers, bidding, attribution, identity resolution). • Familiarity with first-party retail data, shopper behavior, and closed-loop measurement. • Proven track record of taking products from 0→1 and scaling adoption. • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills — able to align executives, merchants, and advertisers. • Knowledge of privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) and their implications on advertising. Nice to Have • Experience in retail, eCommerce, or consumer-facing platforms. • Exposure to machine learning-driven personalization or targeting. • Prior work in a startup / high-growth environment. • Familiarity with clean room technologies (e.g., Snowflake, Habu, LiveRamp). Top 3 skills: 1. High-level experience as a true SME from a technical product delivery standpoint 1. 12+ years of product management experience 1. 5+ years in ad tech, MarTech, or retail media
