Own end-to-end product logic for a yield optimization platform: define technical requirements, scope system specs, partner with ML and engineering to build auction and analytics features, troubleshoot full-stack ad integrations, engage clients, and drive market-informed product innovation to improve publisher monetization.
Assertive Yield is a fast-growing optimization platform empowering publishers and SSPs to drive more revenue through intelligent auction dynamics, traffic shaping, analytics, and real-time decisioning.
What You’ll Do
As Technical Product Manager for our core yield platform, you will own the end-to-end product logic that drives publisher profitability—from server-side auction dynamics to real-time yield analytics. In this role, you will:
- Drive Technical Execution: Partner directly with machine learning, backend engineering, and CS teams to turn complex issues into simple features, giving global publishers intelligent, automated control over every ad impression.
- Scope precise technical requirements, create clear system specifications, and transform real-world publisher monetization pain points into scalable product capabilities.
- Innovate & Lead: Deeply understand the AdTech industry, perform continuous market and competitive research, and proactively bring forward new product ideas that keep our platform at the forefront.
Reporting & Stakeholder Relations
- Direct Report: Reports directly to the VP of Product.
- Collaborate daily with Engineering/R&D, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and Account Management to align technical capabilities with product strategy and client delivery.
- When needed, join calls with clients
Minimum Requirements
- AdTech Experience: 3+ years as a Technical PM, Product Manager, or Solutions Engineer in AdTech (SSP, Header Bidding, Ad Exchange, or Publisher Monetization Platform).
- Deep understanding of the OpenRTB protocol, Prebid (JS & Server), Google Ad Manager, header bidding wrappers, and bidder/seller auction mechanics.
- Full-Stack Technical Understanding: Comprehensive architectural understanding of web applications from client-side tags to backend auctions. Ability to read, inspect, and debug full-stack integration workflows (e.g., verifying browser network requests, inspecting ad tag execution, and tracing server-side responses). Writing production code is a nice-to-have, but the ability to audit and troubleshoot full-stack integrations is required
- Ability to communicate technical decisions to non-technical teams and interface directly with enterprise client technical leads.
- Location: Europe
- Working Hours: Flexibility to cover European working hours (EU) with partial overlap for US West Coast schedules.
- Travel: Willingness to travel to 1–2 key industry events or conferences per year.
Nice to Have
- AdTech Background: Prior experience as a Software Engineer or Solutions Engineer, or Data Engineer in AdTech prior to transitioning into Product Management.
