About the Team...

As the ad tech industry faces its biggest challenge yet with the collapse in addressability, advertisers are struggling to reach their target audience at scale in the Open Web with some shifting their spend to Walled Gardens. We see a huge opportunity for premium publishers and broadcasters to redirect that budget towards their audiences by replacing the deprecating targeting currency in the ecosystem (cookies and IDs) with their own signals (behavioural, lifestyle, demographic, contextual; deterministic and modelled).

Our data infrastructure and platform underpins the ad business of 150 of the biggest publishers and broadcasters in the world and our edge technology allows publishers to reach 100% addressability, even in environments that block cookies by default. Market‑leading advertisers are leveraging our data collaboration capabilities across this premium supply to transform their performance in the Open Web by targeting publisher signals: double their reach, double their sales, halve their cost per acquisition.

About the Role...

In that context, Permutive is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own our Identity & Marketplace products and capabilities. The Identity & Marketplace team owns a critical layer of our product: Identity is the connective tissue that enables data collaboration between our publishers/broadcasters and ecosystem participants. And our marketplace is one of the applications of data collaboration: we relaunched the product earlier in the year with Ocado and have more exciting retailers and data partners in the pipeline.

What you'll be doing...

• Developing empathy with the end user through customer interviews and beta programs
• Iterate on our existing solution to increase adoption and the value our customers derive from the product
• Refining our long term vision for the product

Beyond core product management responsibilities — refining the vision, managing the product throughout its lifecycle, and partnering closely with engineering — the role requires very strong adtech industry knowledge.

Success will be measured against three key areas:

• Delivery: Product delivery against timelines for each stage of the product lifecycle
• Adoption & Usage: Adoption and usage of Identity & Marketplace capabilities by publishers and broadcasters specifically

Value: The value of the product will be measured in volume of impressions that targeted against marketplace and “connected” data

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include...

• Strategy & roadmap: Refining the vision for the product as well as building & managing the roadmap
• Product execution: Producing clear, well-scoped product requirements to help our team understand what customer problems we’re solving. Working with our engineering teams to ensure predictable velocity, balancing feature development with quality and internal requirements.
• Prototyping: working with the engineers and designer to rapidly build POCs to bring to life how we intend to solve problems identified in market
• Test and Iterate: Be in the market to gather feedback from prospects on the prototypes, and experiment with different strategies to refine product-market fit. Defining and analysing metrics so that we understand customer behaviour, gaps and opportunities
• Equip GTM teams (in partnership with product marketing): sales and customer success teams are equipped with collateral (such as prototypes, slides, dashboard etc.) to progress deals down the sales funnel.

What you'll need?...

• Strong adtech industry knowledge
• Experience in Product management, working with engineers and product designers
• Experience in leading the delivery of new products from ideation through launch
• Experience establishing the vision and plan for a product

What we are offering...

We take a structured, objective approach to salary-setting, which is based on market information, our compensation strategy, and your experience and capability as assessed through our interview process. For a typical candidate who meets our requirements, we would pay between £85,000 - £105,000 +options.

Work Your Way

Permutive trusts you to manage your time and deliver results. Our hybrid model allows you to choose where you work best, whether in your own productive space or our London (Farringdon) or New York (Union Square) offices. That said, none of us work alone; we are part of a team.

To foster collaboration and connection, teams in these locations come together in person at least once a week and are encouraged to benefit from being in our offices to meet with teams more often. Commercial and customer-facing teams are encouraged to embrace in-person interactions to build lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.

Every Permutive employee gets together in person at the company’s Annual Kick Off for a week in February. Each year’s event promises to be an exciting opportunity for us to come together, reconnect with colleagues, and align on our shared vision for the year ahead.
