What you'll do

  • Pressure-test and help shape the product thesis with depth in AI and modern build practices.
  • Execute the established direction and turn it into shipped product that delivers measurable value.
  • Take increasing ownership of roadmap and vision as the platform matures.
  • Move concepts into working software quickly, prototyping and shipping in weeks rather than quarters.
  • Build tools and agentic workflows that work against real client data.
  • Bring AI fluency to discovery, prioritization, prototyping, validation, and the broader product lifecycle.
  • Partner with engineering and data teams to take prototypes from early build to secure, reliable production.
  • Maintain a deep, continuously updated understanding of client-team and internal-user workflows, pain points, and desired experiences.
  • Validate assumptions before committing to build.
  • Identify where a solution will not work for user segments before it ships and plan how to address gaps.
  • Continuously gather feedback from client teams and internal users after shipping and feed it into roadmap evolution.
  • Serve as a technical peer to engineering and data.
  • Own the technical approach, architecture, build-versus-buy calls, and production-readiness standards.
  • Own what is built in-house versus sourced from partners and optimize the mix for speed, quality, and cost.
  • Keep the work coherent from prototype through production.
  • Define and own success in terms of client outcomes such as retention, revenue per account, and win rates.
  • Continuously measure, iterate, and improve the business impact of shipped product.
  • Design and drive adoption so the platform integrates into client services, strategy, and agency operations workflows.
  • Own operationalization of shipped work, including rollout communication, documentation, and enablement materials.
  • Run a disciplined communication rhythm around rollouts and changes, including what changes, when it lands, who is affected, and what teams need to do differently.
  • Keep leadership and cross-functional teams current on roadmap, priorities, and readiness status.

What they require

  • Director-level track record in product, with real ownership of roadmap, discovery, and delivery end to end.
  • Demonstrated experience building products with modern AI tools, including hands-on work with AI agents and agentic frameworks.
  • Ability to show what you have personally built, not only describe it.
  • Track record of shipping products that people adopted and that drove measurable business outcomes.
  • Working fluency with data, including SQL and modern data warehouses, deep enough to build prototypes and make real technical tradeoffs.
  • Working fluency with contemporary web technologies deep enough to build prototypes and make real technical tradeoffs.
  • History of owning measurable business outcomes, not only shipping features.
  • Demonstrated experience operationalizing product rollouts, including communication plans, release notes, documentation, and enablement materials for operations and client-facing teams.
  • Ability to show examples of rollout materials personally produced.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the standing to influence executives and engineers alike.
  • Director-level operator fluent in AI, serious about product craft, and able to make products stick inside a real organization.
  • Track record of shipping product that people actually use.
  • Comfortable with stakeholder conversations, discovery interviews, and prototyping.
  • Owns rollout plans, release notes, documentation, and enablement sessions as part of the product work.
  • Goes deep on the user landscape before building.
  • Can identify where a solution will break down for a user segment before it ships and plan for that gap.
  • Prototypes fast, gets real product in front of users, and refines from there.
  • Uses AI tools every day as a working method.
  • Builds in Claude Code, moves fast, and ships in weeks what used to take a team a quarter.
  • Has built agents and agentic systems personally and understands the technology well enough to judge good bets from bad ones.
  • Technically fearless, at home in data and modern software, and deep enough to own architecture and build-versus-buy calls without a traditional engineering title.
  • Conviction about the direction of AI with candor to challenge the company’s thesis.
  • Preferred: Experience in affiliate, influencer, partnership, retail media, or marketing technology.
  • Preferred: Founder, early-stage, or technical-leadership background.
  • Preferred: Experience with data platforms, analytics tooling, or BI products.
  • Preferred: Built or contributed to open-source AI or agent tooling.
  • Preferred: Have stood up production software or driven a build in-house, not only managed vendors who do.
