The Role
Lead end-to-end product for a programmatic ad stack: own Bidding SDK and Exchange, align technical roadmap with market needs, collaborate with Data Science on ML bid models, ensure OpenRTB/TCF compliance, manage P&L, and align cross-functional teams through OKRs to drive revenue growth.
Summary Generated by Built In
We are looking for a holistic Product Executive to take full ownership of our end-to-end programmatic stack. This is a "business-first" leadership role: you will bridge the gap between market needs and our technical roadmap, managing multiple development teams and the platform’s P&L. You won't just manage a roadmap; you will define adjoe’s "right to win" in the industry, collaborating closely with our business MD to shape the future of a high-scale ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the lifecycle of our proprietary Bidding SDK and Exchange. You connect market signals to the roadmap, ensuring our tech meets the specific needs of advertisers and publishers.
  • Collaborate with Data Science to deploy advanced models for bid-price estimation. You are expected to move beyond simple regression, leveraging ML (e.g., TensorFlow) to optimize CPM and win rates.
  • Drive our technical compliance and strategy regarding OpenRTB and TCF. You will manage the interface between adjoe, the IAB foundation, and key mediation partners like AppLovin MAX, IronSource LevelPlay, and Google AdMob.
  • Directly impact the P&L by balancing infrastructure costs (QPS) against revenue yield. You drive revenue growth by understanding the "why" behind the data.
  • Align multiple cross-functional teams through clear OKRs and performance frameworks. You act as the key liaison between technical and commercial units, ensuring output translates into business success.

The Ideal Candidate

  • 10+ years in AdTech with deep knowledge of mobile Ad SDKs and programmatic protocols. You can explain the mechanics of a prediction model as easily as a product vision.
  • 5+ years of experience managing large, diverse product organizations in an agile environment.
  • You are motivated by driving the business forward. You don’t just build software; you build systems that excite customers and scale revenue.
  • You love digging into the numbers. You have experience influencing or managing Data Science teams and understand how to train models to predict market behaviour.
  • You possess the communication skills to work effectively across the entire organization. You can translate complex technical dependencies into clear, actionable goals for stakeholders and partners.

Fuel for the Journey: Benefits to Support Your Ambitions

  • Invest in Your Future: Regular feedback and our development program support your growth, helping you expand your skill set and achieve your career goals.
  • Easy Arrival to adjoe: From signing to settling in Hamburg, we’ve got you covered. Need a visa? No problem. Ready to build your new life and career at adjoe in Hamburg? We support every ambition—from learning German to a relocation bonus that helps you settle in and make Hamburg feel like home.
  • Live Your Best Life, at Work and Beyond: We work in a hybrid setup with 3 core office days, plus flexible working hours. Enjoy 30 vacation days, 3 weeks of remote work per year, and free access to an in-house gym with lots of different fitness classes and mental health support through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
  • Thrive Where You Work: Enjoy the Alster lake view from our central office with top-notch equipment, fun open spaces, and a large variety of snacks and drinks.
  • Join the Community! Participate in regular team and company events, including hackathons and social gatherings. We work together, and we celebrate together, too.
