This role goes beyond a single transformation; it is about orchestrating complex, cross-functional initiatives that shape the future of AppsFlyer. You will lead large-scale execution efforts, scale collaboration across R&D, Product, and GTM, and drive alignment on high-impact programs. You will also mentor and coach R&D and Product leaders, ensuring they adopt best-in-class program management practices to scale our efforts successfully.

This is a strategic, high-visibility role at the heart of AppsFlyer's future.

What you have

• Exceptional ability to influence stakeholders and drive alignment, with the strategic thinking to lead change across a complex organization
• 5+ years of program management experience within an engineering and product environment on SaaS products

• A hands-on, figure-it-out-yourself mentality - comfortable prototyping a solution, testing a tool, or building a lightweight dashboard rather than just spec'ing it for someone else
