The industry is rapidly growing and evolving as viewers are shifting from traditional TV viewing to Streaming TV and publishers are increasingly adding video content to their online experiences to garner market share.

The right candidate will possess a strong product management background, will have demonstrated experience leading medium to large products and projects, and will have a well-rounded experience in advertising technologies and players. You must be able to thrive in a fast-paced start-up like environment. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in, and get the job done.
