Role Overview
We’re hiring a Senior Data Product Manager to own the design, launch, and evolution of advertising‑focused data products for external customers - covering audience segments, targeting signals, measurement/attribution outputs, anonymised datasets, clean‑room‑enabled delivery, and ad‑tech integrations.
You’ll partner closely with Digital teams, ad‑tech vendors, agencies, engineering, and Business Development to deliver privacy‑safe, scalable ad data products that meet advertiser and agency needs, support monetisation, and achieve product‑market fit in the advertising vertical. This is a hands‑on senior IC role (not internal reporting/analytics), where you’ll translate client requirements into build‑ready specifications and steer end‑to‑end delivery, documentation, onboarding, and iteration.
Must Haves
* Ad‑tech / data product leadership: Direct experience in ad‑tech, martech, audience/measurement, or advertising data product management, delivering externally consumed data products (e.g., segments, measurement, attribution, anonymised datasets).
* Product specification to build: Proven ability to translate advertiser/agency needs into product specifications, including data schemas, delivery formats, SLAs, and sector‑ready documentation (schemas, samples, onboarding guides, compliance statements).
* Technical collaboration & delivery: Hands‑on experience working with engineering/data teams to design and ship pipelines for segment creation, aggregation/validation, and clean‑room delivery—from backlog definition through acceptance and launch.
* Privacy, security & compliance: Strong understanding of GDPR, anonymisation/pseudonymisation, data governance and internal security standards—and how to embed them by design in ad data products.
* Client & partner engagement: Comfortable partnering with agencies, ad‑tech vendors, measurement partners and BD to shape scope, test hypotheses, validate demand and refine product‑market fit.
* Iterative product mindset: Evidence of collecting usage and performance feedback (clients, agencies, internal stakeholders) and using it to improve features, data quality, delivery mechanisms and adoption.
* Data fluency: Solid grasp of data pipelines, schemas, delivery patterns and QA/validation in advertising contexts; able to reason about trade‑offs between utility, scale, latency and privacy.
Other Skills We Are Looking For
* Experience with data clean rooms (e.g., building/delivering privacy‑preserving audiences/measurement), aggregated audience measurement, or cross‑media/CTV/OTT data.
* Familiarity with privacy‑enhancing technologies (e.g., differential privacy, secure computation), anonymisation techniques, and ad‑tech governance models.
* Experience supporting early‑stage commercial validation with BD/partners—market testing, packaging, pricing signals, and proof‑of‑value pilots.
* Exposure to attribution models, experiment design, and/or ad effectiveness measurement signals.
