About the role
Lead the Optimization teams, managing a suite of products and services spanning analytics, personalization, and experimentation. This is a hands-on product leadership role for someone equally strong in strategy, product craft, and team leadership. You will lead a lean team of product managers while staying directly involved in the most important product questions and decisions across the area.
What you'll do
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of product managers; provide regular feedback, support career development, and help the team excel in product discovery & delivery.
- Own the product direction for the Optimization area across analytics, personalization, experimentation, and platform capabilities.
- Integrate AI and extensible platform capabilities into the product strategy to unlock automation, insight generation, and content performance optimization at scale.
- Lead cross-functional teams, driving product vision, and executing product roadmaps in a fast-paced, agile environment.
- Work closely with Engineering and Design leadership to define strategy, align priorities, and drive execution across a broad and technically complex product surface.
- Conduct market research and collaborate with customers to capture requirements, gather feedback, and continuously refine the product vision.
- Champion best practices in product management, including agile methodologies, data-driven decision making, and experimentation.
- Drive clarity across multiple workstreams, balancing short-term delivery needs with longer-term strategic bets.
What you'll need
- Experience as a Group Product Manager or Director leading multiple teams in a B2B SaaS context (ideally on a data-focused product).
- Track record of setting product strategy, managing roadmaps, and delivering outcomes across platform and user-facing layers.
- Strong hands-on product leadership: you are comfortable personally driving discovery, defining strategy, making trade-offs, and stepping into execution details when needed.
- Proven track record in building and scaling data platforms and API-first products, with the ability to drive innovation and adoption.
- Strong product and technical judgment, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, data, design, and business stakeholders.
- Meaningful people leadership experience, including coaching and developing Product Managers and helping teams improve their product craft and impact.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with comfort working across product, design, engineering, marketing, and field teams.
