This strategic role calls for a resourceful product leader with strong commercial judgment who can translate vision into disciplined execution.

Success will require close partnership with Engineering, Data Science, Design, Sales, Account teams, Operations, and fellow product leaders to deliver retailer growth, advertiser value, and relevant shopping experiences.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Achieve

• Develop the vision and set the strategic direction for the full onsite advertising offering, translating retailer, advertiser, shopper, and market insight into differentiated product choices and measurable outcomes.
• Evolve Sponsored Products and other onsite offerings around retailer maturity, category needs, brand objectives, and shopper journeys. Own onsite ad-serving product capabilities in partnership with Engineering and Data Science.
• Improve the retailer and advertiser experience across onboarding, inventory and placement controls, campaign setup, optimization, and onsite measurement and reporting.
• Establish a disciplined approach to client requests: evaluate business impact, urgency, reuse, effort, and strategic fit; make commitments transparent; and protect progress on shared platform capabilities.
• Sequence integration with Epsilon’s identity and data, measurement, shared ad-serving capabilities, and campaign workflows, agreeing dependencies and decision rights with the product leaders responsible for those services.
• Strengthen onsite monetization and product economics by improving yield, fill, advertiser performance, retention, adoption, and cost to serve. Partner with Commercial and Finance to validate the gains while protecting shopper conversion, relevance, and merchandising priorities.
• Translate retailer and advertiser needs into platform requirements, partnering with Engineering and Data Science on reliable delivery, scale, experimentation, and integrations that preserve client trust.
• Lead and develop product leaders and PMs across a distributed organization. Set clear ownership, coach decision-making, build leadership capability, and raise the quality of discovery, strategy, and delivery.
• Own the product lifecycle from customer discovery and investment choices through launch, adoption, and continuous improvement, aligning Product Marketing, Operations, and client-facing teams on positioning, readiness, and the value delivered.
• Define a consistent product scorecard and operating cadence that connects client commitments, strategic milestones, platform health, and commercial outcomes.

Qualifications

Who You Are
