Senior Product Manager

  • Houston, TX
  • |
  • Job ID #15785

Summary:

A company that blends physical media, technology, and data to reshape how brands activate in the real world is looking for a Senior Product Manager. The company operates one of the nation’s most innovative mobile out-of-home networks—custom LED vehicles, experiential campaigns, telematics, and real-time analytics—and is building the platform that powers it all.

The Senior Product Manager will lead the next generation of their ad tech and analytics platform: campaign management, routing and operations, content delivery, reporting, and customer-facing analytics. This is a high-ownership role where you’ll define the roadmap, translate real business needs into clear work for engineering, and shape a platform used by top brands, agencies, and operators.

Responsibilities:

  • You drive the platform that powers a unique physical + digital media business.  This role offers a combination of real-world operational workflows, rich data models, hardware + software interaction, and customer-facing analytics
  • You shape a product line that will scale with the company.  Your roadmap becomes the backbone of a multi-tenant, API-driven platform that can support partners, fleets, and national advertisers
  • You have meaningful influence. Being part of a small, focused team and having direct access to leadership, your decisions have immediate visibility and impact
  • You’ll build for internal users, external clients, and partners—but with a single unified platform vision, not one-off custom software
  • Own the product roadmap for internal and external software products
  • Translate business needs and customer insights into clear requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria
  • Work directly with engineering to deliver high-quality functionality across campaign tools, routing/ops, content scheduling, reporting, and analytics
  • Validate releases through hands-on testing, user feedback loops, and field/pilot programs
  • Introduce and run lightweight agile processes that help a small team ship quickly and predictably
  • Drive platform evolution: standardizing data models, defining APIs, and enabling external partners/operators to build on their system
  • Partner with operations, account management, and sales to ensure product decisions create clear business and customer value

Qualifications: 

  • Experience in product management or a closely related role, ideally within B2B SaaS, data/analytics, platforms, or AdTech – ideal: AdTech, digital out-of-home, programmatic buying, or media measurement
  • Must understand and have experience with exposure/impression-based products, attribution-style analytics, and measurement systems associated with the ad business
  • Entrepreneurial – scrappy, roll your sleeves up with engineering, operations, clients; hands-on – think like a “builder” – thrives in environments where structure needs to be created, not inherited
  • Comfortable working directly with engineers on API- or data-heavy products; able to understand and reason with technical concepts
  • Proven track record building products in fast-growth, ambiguity-heavy environments
  • Strong ability to turn user workflows and operational feedback into structured requirements
  • Confident communicator who can simplify complex value propositions for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Experience with agile processes suitable for small teams
  • Experience with Telematics, mobility, fleet management, or location-based analytics a “plus”

    Required Notification:  Certain states require that job postings indicate a minimum and maximum base salary in an effort to not discriminate – a very worthwhile purpose that Media Recruiting Group supports. MRG’s practices are and have always been non-discriminatory, and jobs are open to all candidates with respect to race, color, religion, national origin, military status, sexual orientation, sex/gender, age, national origin, disability, etc.  That said, companies require that we supply them with candidates with very specific experience, and the commensurate compensation for every job varies.  It is a function of a person’s years of experience, type of experience, skills, knowledge of certain computer programs, etc.  And every job may have a unique requirement.  And every job could come in higher or lower than the range we are given.   We do not control the upper and lower ranges for our clients, so we make a best efforts attempt to include information requested by said states.  In the case of sales people, most time it is also a function of their contacts.  If the job is an analyst, analytical skills and experience matter.  Etc.  This makes stating a reasonable minimum and maximum challenging absent all of this information about a given candidate.  Companies also have other elements of compensation, including but not limited to, commission, bonus, equity, profit sharing, varying levels of healthcare coverage and how much a person would have to contribute to the premium, various perks like continuing education, commuter reimbursement, phone reimbursement, etc. – not included in “salary” as the law states.  Thus, know that anything we note in a salary range does NOT include such other compensation elements.  And, as recruiters, we don’t know what all of those elements are, as we are recruiting for a company, not for ourselves, and they do not brief us as to each benefit.  We are a 3rd party and can only estimate to the best of our knowledge, and thus offer the minimum and maximum salary MRG in good faith believes at the time of the posting the client is willing to pay for the advertised job.

    Qualified by all of the above, for this job with requisite/required  years of the required experience and skills, the minimum and maximum base salary is approximated at $115k – $135k respectfully, exclusive of any other incentive or any element of healthcare coverage, any reference to how much a person would have to contribute to the premium of a healthcare plan, any perks, or other forms of compensation.  Fewer years of experience could bring the base salary lower, and more experience could bring the base salary higher, if the company is willing to increase their salary bands.
