Chief Product Officer (AdTech)
One of our key products is an international multi-format advertising network that provides comprehensive solutions for marketing tasks in the Programmatic advertising and Affiliate marketing spheres. We work with direct traffic sources, ensure over 5 billion impressions per day, offer RTB capabilities, fast moderation, and support for fully managed advertising campaign launches.
At the core of our advertising network is our own RTB auction, combining SSP and Ad Exchange. We monetize the advertising inventory of tens of thousands of websites, and DSP partners gain access to it by integrating with our platform.
We are looking for a CPO who will take full ownership of the product: from strategy and vision to business results and the team. This role is for someone who can not only bring order to delivery but also be responsible for the product's direction and the value it brings to the business.
Areas of Responsibility:
- Formulate and defend the product strategy: where the product is heading, which segments and functionalities we focus on;
- Translate strategy into measurable goals and own the product's key product and business metrics (P&L, revenue, inventory margin, fill rate, eCPM, etc.);
- Make decisions about new directions, formats, integrations, and partnerships based on data and unit economics;
- Lead a team of product managers: hiring, development, goal setting, feedback, building a product culture;
- Distribute ownership across product areas and maintain the team's unified focus on priorities;
- Maintain a unified roadmap (quarterly / monthly): goals, scope, control of execution, and priority changes;
- Build a transparent prioritization system focused on key business processes, stability, and measurable impact; be able to say no and manage stakeholder expectations;
- Organize the process so that tasks come to development ready (Definition of Ready) — with acceptance criteria, success metrics, and a verification plan;
- Manage product operations: decomposition, progress tracking, blocker removal, cross-team dependencies, release predictability;
- Maintain a balance between speed and stability: reducing regressions, managing technical debt, agreements with the technical team;
- Determine what and why we measure, and how changes affect stability and key business flows;
- Interact with marketing / sales / accounts: turn scattered requests into clear priorities and product solutions;
- Be the voice of the product at the top management level.
What we expect from the candidate:
- 3–5 years of experience in product roles (CPO / Head of Product), with proven experience of full product ownership — from strategy to results;
- Experience in AdTech / MarTech / RTB / high-load systems;
- Experience scaling digital products and building processes for predictable releases;
- Experience managing a team of product managers: hiring, development, goal setting;
- Strong strategic thinking and a data-driven approach: setting metrics, analyzing the impact of changes, working with product analytics, the ability to see the big picture;
- Ability to evaluate product solutions from the perspective of user experience, economics, and scalability;
- Strong priority and roadmap management skills: the ability to fix scope and manage expectations
