$230,000 - $280,000
What they actually want (must-haves)
  • 8+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time in performance advertising: DSP, retargeting platform, measurement/MMP, or ad network e-commerce products
  • Hands-on depth in web and mobile identity and attribution: probabilistic matching (IP and device signals), pixels, server-to-server postbacks, and the practical constraints of browser privacy changes (ITP, fingerprinting protection) and ATT
  • A track record of carrying a product from beta to GA, including at least one experience where you recommended killing or materially pivoting something based on the data
  • Comfort operating in a 0-to-1 incubation environment: small, funded pilots, hands-on customer management, and shipping against explicit go/no-go criteria
  • Demonstrated ML experimentation experience: you can read a confidence interval, challenge an experiment design, and make a ship/no-ship call under uncertainty
  • Cross-functional leadership across engineering, ML, go-to-market, sales engineering, creative, and finance without direct authority over any of them
Nice to have
  • Experience with the Shopify/e-commerce ecosystem: app approval, Customer Privacy API, webhooks, catalog/product feeds, or merchant-facing tooling. Familiarity with CAPI-style server-side integrations (Meta CAPI, Google Enhanced Conversions) also counts
  • Familiarity with incrementality testing, MTA, or MMM, and the attribution debates (first-click vs. last-click, demand creation vs. demand capture) that agencies and DTC marketers actually have
  • Executive-level financial fluency: you can build and defend a unit economics case to a senior audience and hold your ground under scrutiny
