Job summary

Publift is seeking a Product Manager to own discovery and end-to-end roadmap delivery for one or more product areas centered around the auction core. You will convert customer input into a clear backlog and collaborate with Engineering, Data Science, and Commercial teams to drive outcomes.

This ownership role emphasizes data-driven decisions, strong specs, and collaboration across teams in a hybrid working environment. You will influence monetisation, ad serving, and publisher-driven workflows.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in a product management role with end-to-end ownership of technical products or features.
• Track record of shipping in a technical domain, working closely with engineering.
• Fluent in writing specs, PRDs, or equivalent artefacts that others build from directly.
• Strong product fundamentals: discovery, prioritisation, and roadmap ownership.
• Experience managing products with different levels of customers and users.
• You measure yourself on outcomes, not shipped features - and you translate ideas into revenue, adoption, or efficiency terms.
• You're comfortable in detailed conversations with Engineers and Data Scientists and with unfamiliar technical systems.
• You write clearly and others build directly from your specs or PRDs.
• You're comfortable owning a broad, ambiguous space and creating clarity.
• You treat AI tooling as leverage in day-to-day workflows.
• Comfort working with data directly (SQL/spreadsheets) to support decisions.
• Experience with operational or internal-facing products.

Responsibilities

• Own discovery, prioritisation, and roadmap delivery for your product area, building a coherent, evidence-based roadmap from customer, user, and business needs.
• Turn publisher feedback and signals into a prioritised backlog and justify trade-offs to stakeholders.
• Write clear problem statements and specifications that engineers can build from directly.
• Partner with Engineering, Data Science, and Commercial teams through delivery, surface risks early and measure shipped work.
• Talk to customers and internal users regularly and let feedback shape the roadmap.
