About This Role:



As a Product Manager on Comscore's Activation team, you will own development plans and roadmaps for new and existing products with the goal of enhancing Comscore's programmatic data offerings. This is a hands-on role that will require digging into the technical and business needs of our customers and partners to create innovative targeting solutions that will survive the cookiepocalypse. We're looking for someone with a deep working knowledge of the programmatic ecosystem who can translates business objectives into developmental requirements, break down business goals into discrete actionable changes and drive new development initiatives. This role will require someone who can work closely with customers, partners, sales teams, operations and engineers to move features from idea to reality on tight deadlines. The Activation team at Comscore offers a start-up environment within a large company and needs someone scrappy who can overcome complex internal and external barriers to solve tactically while thinking strategically.

• Writes white papers and case studies, potentially in conjunction with clients or industry leaders

• Curiosity: You'll need to be a good listener who can empathize with the customer and the team around you. This means that you spend most of your time asking questions (and questions about your questions) rather than offering opinions.
• Conviction: Passion isn't enough. We need people who can build concrete arguments based on research, evidence and data.
• You'll also need to be able to communicate and refine your arguments in uncomfortable situations with customers, internal stakeholders and your own team.
• 5-7 years product management experience
• 2-5 years' experience with programmatic advertising
• History of product ownership with impactful and self-directed contributions
• Programmatic platform (DSP, SSP, CDP, DMP, etc.) experience a plus
