Job Description

The Role :

We are hiring a Director of Product to lead strategy and execution for next-generation products in the programmatic space, spanning both buy-side and sell-side innovation.

This is a foundational leadership role responsible for incubating high-impact products at the intersection of audience data, contextual signals, identity, and measurement. You will guide cross-functional teams to discover, validate, build, and launch differentiated solutions for advertisers, DSPs, SSPs, and publishers.

What You'll Do :

Product Strategy & Innovation

  • Define the multi-year product strategy for Nielsen's new offerings in the programmatic ad ecosystem.
  • Identify whitespace and monetization opportunities across audience targeting, contextual activation, optimization, and clean room-based measurement.
  • Partner with Gracenote, Nielsen ONE, and Media Cloud teams to productize unique data assets.

Customer Discovery & Market Fit

  • Lead structured customer discovery with agency, brand, and platform partners.
  • Validate product-market fit with alpha / beta programs and signal-based experimentation.
  • Represent the voice of the market in prioritization and roadmap decisions.
  • Execution Leadership

  • Build and lead a team of product managers focused on rapid incubation, validation, and scaling.
  • Collaborate with engineering, data science, UX, commercial, and external partners to deliver exceptional products.
  • Set clear OKRs and drive outcome-based execution from MVP to scaled deployment.
  • Go-to-Market & Partner Strategy

  • Partner with GTM, partnerships, and commercial teams to design pricing, packaging, and positioning strategies.
  • Engage with strategic partners (e.g., DSPs, SSPs, clean room platforms, ID providers) to expand reach and adoption.
  • Qualifications

    Who You Are :

  • 8+ years in product management, with at least 3+ years leading teams.
  • Deep understanding of programmatic advertising, including DSPs, SSPs, audience targeting, performance optimization, and privacy-safe activation.
  • Track record of launching 0-to-1 products and scaling innovation.
  • Strong analytical and technical fluency comfortable working with APIs, data graphs, and measurement frameworks.
  • Skilled at stakeholder management and cross-functional influence in matrixed organizations.
  • Strategic thinker with bias for action, experimentation, and customer empathy.
  • Preferred Experience :

  • Experience in data / identity platforms, DMP / CDPs, or clean rooms.
  • Familiarity with advertising standards (e.g., IAB OpenRTB, UID2, FLoC / Sandbox).
  • Background in AI / ML-powered products or audience intelligence.
