Position: Product Manager (all levels) Location: New York City

Job Responsibilities + Own it: Ownership and accountability for new revenue-generating features. + Soup to nuts: Responsibility over all product lifecycle, from vision to handoff. + Collaborate: Interactively work with Senior Management, Sales, Marketing, Professional Services, Account Management, and R&D to define product vision based on customer feedback and functional needs and requirements. + Drive it: Define and drive go-to-market strategy, planning, and execution for new product offerings and releases. + Be an all-star: You look at the stack of responsibilities that a PM owns and you say "yes, of course." Competitive analysis, backlogs, drafting marketing collateral, internal training on your new features, go-to-market, feedback loops, customer betas, agile user stories, helping with product marketing, working with the UX team, and all the usual mini-specs, daily standups, iteration planning, and customer validation. Plus you can tell us more responsibilities that we forgot in this list.

Qualifications + Don’t hate ads: 5+ years of Online Media or AdTech Product Management experience. Prior work experience at an ad server, network, or ad technology platform preferred. + Be edumacated: At least have a B.A./B.S. or equivalent degree. Kudos if you have a technical degree (Computer Science / Engineering) or an MBA from a top school, but it’s not required. + You've got to be able to talk to the geeks: You'll work with an engineering counterpart to define product release requirements, and work with marketing communications to define the go-to-market strategy, helping them understand the product positioning, key benefits, and target customer. That means you need to speak two languages in addition to your own. + Terabytes of data don’t intimidate you: You won’t be manipulating the data yourself, but the product you are building will. Wait, did we say terabytes? We meant petabytes. + Don’t work solo in your fiefdom: Excellent communications skills. It's hard to preach if no one can understand what you're saying or writing, right? + Control your product roadmap: Scope, needs, requirements and uh, yeah, resources. You know how to manage these. That's the forced choice/technical project management part of the role. Sounds fun, right? Help us figure out which two of three things we want: good, fast, or cheap (and we always want good). + Manifesto: You get agile. Good agile vs bad agile, you know the difference. You know why this bullet starts with the word "manifesto." + Cha-ching: Proven ability to balance the need of the customer while maintaining corporate objectives. Be laser-focused on helping all of us make money. + Attitude and team fit matters: Organized with a rigorous attention to detail, drive for excellence, and a positive "can-do" approach. You turn buzzwords into reality.
