Job description

About Connexity: Connexity is the leading performance marketing technology company connecting the world’s top retailers with high-intent shoppers. We power product discovery across a network of premium publishers, helping them monetize smarter and helping retailers drive measurable sales. We move fast, think in systems, and hold ourselves to a high bar on craft and outcomes.

The Role: We're looking for a Senior Technical Product Manager to own two of the highest-leverage areas in our publisher business: the products our enterprise publishers rely on every day, and the monetization infrastructure that underpins the performance and trust of our entire ecosystem. This isn't a role for someone who wants to manage a backlog. It's a role for someone who sees a complex, interconnected system (publisher relationships, tracking pipelines, monetization mechanics) and immediately starts identifying the highest-leverage points to improve it. You'll be expected to operate with the strategic clarity of a product leader and the rigor of someone who actually understands how systems work. You'll be accountable to both the business and the publishers who depend on what you build. We hire people who want to be challenged. If that is you, Let's talk.

Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Roadmap

• Own a prioritized, outcome-driven roadmap; defend trade-offs with data and a clear point of view
• Proactively identify and size opportunities through quantitative analysis, partner signals, and competitive intelligence
• Define success metrics before a single line of code is written
• Approach the roadmap with a build-to-learn mindset; favor fast, validated bets over long hidden development cycles

Structured Discovery & Technical Requirements

• Engage directly with enterprise publishers to distinguish market problems from individual partner requests
• Write PRDs and technical requirements (API contracts, data models, product experiences) that are unambiguous and implementation-ready
• Partner with engineering on architecture, data pipeline design, technical trade-offs to generate product recommendations

Execution, Delivery, & Stakeholder Management

• Drive the full product lifecycle: scoping, prioritization, sequencing, launch coordination, and post-launch analysis
• Remove blockers proactively, elevate with solutions, and bias toward action
• Build deep relationships with enterprise publishers and internal stakeholders to translate market needs into scalable solutions
• Lead cross-functional reviews, alignment meetings, and proactively communicate up, down, and across without losing fidelity

Team Development

• Mentor junior and mid-level PMs on discovery quality, PRD precision, metrics discipline, and execution
• Raise team standards by example - bring frameworks, challenge existing ones, and create an environment where people are pushed to grow
• 5+ years of product management experience, with a track record of shipping complex, technical products end-to-end
• Ecommerce experience required - you understand the retail and shopping ecosystem, how performance-based models work, and what drives outcomes for merchants and publishers
• Technical background strongly preferred - CS, engineering, data science, or equivalent demonstrated fluency; you don't need to write production code, but you need to hold your own in architectural conversations
• Strong data instincts - you define leading product metrics (adoption, engagement, feature impact) before you ship and analyze results to drive your next decision
• Experience with affiliate/performance monetization - you understand how affiliate networks, click tracking, and attribution models work
• Demonstrated ability to manage enterprise or partner-facing products - you've built for sophisticated, demanding customers and know how to translate partner needs into scalable product solutions
• Desire to develop and manage other PMs - you're building toward a team leadership role, not just an individual contributor ceiling; experience mentoring other PMs is a plus
• Comfort operating in ambiguity - Connexity moves fast and the landscape shifts; you adapt without losing focus

Headquartered in Santa Monica, the company operates sites and business services in the US, UK, and EU.

• Health Care Plans (Medical, Dental & Vision)

• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D), LTD & STD
• Paid Leave Benefits (Maternity, Paternity & Medical)
• Learning & Development Program (educational tool)
