influence roadmap and investment tradeoffs with senior leadership.\nServe as the connective layer between Engineering, Product, Quality, Operations, and external stakeholders.\nPresent clear, scenario-based decision paths to engineering and business leadership, driving consensus through clarity.\nResolve conflict and maintain alignment across directors, tech leads, and cross-functional partners with authority and credibility.\nWhat you’ll need:\nTypically requires a minimum of 7 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 5 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with 4 years experience; or equivalent experience, leading complex, enterprise-scale initiatives.\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience.\nDemonstrated experience owning Enterprise program strategy - including multi-year roadmap partnership, portfolio-level decision support, and org-wide process improvement - not just execution.\nSignificant experience in advertising technology, including ad-serving systems, real-time bidding, monetization platforms, data pipelines, and analytics systems.\nProficient architectural literacy across multiple platform programs;
