About Topsort

At Topsort, we believe in the mission of democratizing the secret technologies of the walled gardens and creating a privacy-first cookie-free world of clean advertising with modern tech, friendly products, and AI. We believe in making advertising intuitive, intelligent, and genuinely cool, without any of the creepy ads or cookie-obsession (well, maybe just the chocolate ones). In a rapidly changing industry, we're on a mission to democratize monetization access for all and ensure that advertising doesn't leave any brand or seller feeling confused or overwhelmed. Today, Topsort has 6 major hubs worldwide, and employees in 13+ countries, including Menlo Park, Boston, Santiago Chile, Sao Paulo Brazil, Barcelona Spain, and Sydney Australia. We are a truly global company that was born in the pandemic that's had rapid growth since out of a genius product, a customer-first mentality, and a hardworking team of talented individuals. Since our founding in 2021, we've gained customers in retail, marketplaces, and delivery apps in 40+ countries and quickly approaching the #1 position in the industry.

Do you enjoy a fast-paced environment? Do you like seeing your work create real-time impact, being part of a rocket ship from the very beginning? Let's do the unimaginable - let's make ads clean and cool again, with AI and modern technology.

What it's like to work at Topsort

Our team is all about straightforward communication, embracing feedback without taking it personally, and fostering a super collaborative environment. It's a sports team that's hyper focused on winning, collaborative internally, and competitive externally - never the other way around. We thrive on working in the open, lifting each other up, and getting things done with a sense of urgency. We're the kind of team that loves making bold choices, sharing extraordinary opinions, and maintaining a 100 mph pace. No endless meetings here – if it can be done today, we're all about getting it done today.

What is this role like？

We're looking for a strategic, experienced, and hands-on Head of Product to lead product development across multiple core areas of Topsort's offering, from foundational APIs and auction infrastructure to optimization tools and customer-facing interfaces.

As a senior leader in the product organization, you'll define and drive product strategy at a company-wide level. You'll work cross-functionally with engineering, sales, customer success, and marketing to ensure we're solving the right problems, delivering scalable solutions, and creating products that drive meaningful value for our customers.

This is a high-impact, collaborative role in a fast-paced environment, ideal for someone who thrives in technical settings, brings clarity to complex challenges, and wants to shape the future of retail media infrastructure.

You will:

• Embrace the "sports team" mentality of Topsort—collaborate across product, engineering, sales, and customer success teams globally to drive alignment, unblock execution, and support scalable, sustainable growth.
• Lead the strategy, vision, and roadmap across multiple product areas, ensuring Topsort's solutions are technically robust, customer-centric, and aligned with business priorities.
• Develop deep domain expertise in retail media and ad tech—understanding the nuances of auctions, APIs, data flows, and platform extensibility to inform product direction.
• Drive creative, high-leverage solutions to complex product challenges—balancing technical constraints, customer needs, and market opportunities.
• Lead discovery efforts across customers and internal teams to uncover pain points, validate hypotheses, and define product strategy based on insight and data.
• Partner closely with engineering to define requirements, prioritize backlogs, and ensure timely, high-quality delivery across the product development lifecycle.
• Shape product rollout and adoption strategy in collaboration with marketing, sales, and customer success—ensuring successful launches and strong customer impact.
• Establish metrics to evaluate product success, iterate based on outcomes, and guide long-term investment decisions.
• Mentor and guide other product managers, and contribute to building a high-performing, fast-moving product organization.
  
  

What (we think) you need to be successful - we're open to not checking all the boxes and be proven wrong by outlier candidates as well!

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• Strong technical acumen is a must—whether developed through formal education, prior roles, or hands-on projects.
• 7+ years of product management experience, including leadership over complex, cross-functional initiatives. Experience in B2B SaaS, ad tech, or eCommerce infrastructure is especially valuable.
• Experience working on APIs, platforms, or integration-heavy products is a strong plus.
• Proven ability to drive strategy and execution across teams—engineering, design, and go-to-market—while maintaining a strong customer lens.
• Strategic thinker with creative problem-solving skills: you can navigate ambiguity, balance competing priorities, and unlock value in complex technical and business landscapes.
• Excellent communicator: able to represent the product clearly and confidently to both internal and external audiences, including executive stakeholders and customers.
• Deeply customer-focused: you seek to understand pain points, build trust, and translate insight into product direction and execution.
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving environments—able to adapt quickly while keeping teams focused on outcomes.
• Naturally curious and rigorous: you ask smart questions, dig into the "why" behind problems, and seek out edge cases others might miss.
• Collaborative and team-oriented: you bring energy, humility, and a mindset of shared success to every interaction.
  
  

Why it's awesome to work at Topsort

• Direct Feedback and Rapid Growth: We work hard, set aggressive goals and execute flawlessly to accomplish them. We give candid feedback, push each other to set higher goals and produce more impact by always thinking "how do we do this faster and better"
• Be part of an elite and collaborative sports team: We believe startup scaleup is just like a team sport. It's been written in our motto since day 1 that we are collaborative internally, competitive externally, and never the other round around. You are ultimately surrounded by just different people that are all here to help you get the job done and shine as a team.
• Intellectual Rigor and Individuality: We were born in the pandemic by Stanford and Harvard alum cofounders who offer remote-working options with coworking memberships and (at least) once a year in person offsite gathering. You'll be welcomed by coworkers in 11 countries that all bring a unique perspective to the company from day 1. From personalized birthday gifts to work anniversaries, and management training program or in-person gatherings or career talks and mentorships, part-time DJs and tik-tok vloggers are also commercial leaders and technical staff at Topsort. We don't take management with a cookie cutter approach - but rather we cherish your quarks and think it makes us stronger.
• Company Offsite and Industry Exposure: Once a year Topsorters get together as a whole and also meet customers and really spend time to get feedback
• 401K Matching and Comprehensive benefits: We provide a generous and comprehensive set of health benefits, including vision, dental, and a 3% 401K matching as soon as you join!
• Working Equipment and Hubs: our team is global and also centered around hubs, that means you're welcome to create a hybrid work schedule, and encouraged to travel to other hubs to collaborate. We provide working devices of your choice and surprise swags for special events.
• Flexible PTO schedule with floating holidays - we encourage Topsorters to take time off and recharge, and respect different cultural norms so offer floating holidays to accommodate the celebrations you'd like.
• Meditation App, Birthday and Anniversary Celebrations - we like little surprises and remember the key moments to celebrate with you!
