  • Strong background in DSPs, media execution platforms, and advertising operations
  • 6 years of experience leading and developing Product Managers
  • Proven ability to lead complex cross-functional initiatives across engineering, data science, design, and media teams
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders
  • Strong customer-centric mindset with a track record of delivering meaningful business and user impact
