Location: Office in Downtown Montreal, or Eastern-Time Zone Remote considered About Optable Optable is the Agentic Audience Platform connecting the advertising ecosystem. Our mission is to empower publishers and their partners to securely connect and activate audience data to drive smarter, more relevant and more profitable advertising. With our Agentic Collaboration framework, trusted by leading publishers, platforms, and brands, Optable provides an open and interoperable foundation for secure, policy-governed data activation in the age of AI. Optable is a Montreal-based, VC-backed company. Founded in 2020 by ad tech industry veterans, Optable was recently recognized as a Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Enterprise Industry Leader. Our latest innovation, Agentic Collaboration, brings autonomous AI-driven agents into adtech workflows and we take the security and design of that infrastructure seriously. We are a rapidly growing startup that values execution, innovation, and a "no jerks" policy. Our team embraces a culture of ownership, humility, and initiative to solve tough technical and business challenges. The Role As a Senior Product Manager on the Audience Platform, you will own the core Audience product capabilities at the heart of Optable — the audience data sourcing, building, estimation, activation, reporting, and UI workstreams that publishers rely on every day. You will partner directly with engineering, data science, solutions, and enterprise customers to set the roadmap, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship features that move revenue for our partners. You will stay ahead of where the industry is heading — retail media, CTV, AI-driven solutions, and privacy-enhancing technologies — and translate those shifts into prioritized bets on the platform. This is the right role for a strong executor ready to grow into strategic ownership of a complex, technically rich domain. What you will do Audience Building : Own the tools publishers use to create and manage first and third-party audience segments — including data collection (sources, events), contextual classification, behavioural classification, and lookalike modeling. Activation : Own the audience creation to campaign pipeline end-to-end — from proposal through build and sync to Ad Server, SSP, DSP, and marketing platform destinations. Actionable Insights : Own the pre and post campaign analytics that inform publisher sales strategy and revenue optimization. Data Collaboration : Own the Activation, Insights, and Prospecting clean room product lines—from partnership configuration to secure matching, lookalike modeling, and shareable reporting—so publishers, brands, and platforms can collaborate on outcomes without exposing raw data. Privacy : Own Optable’s privacy product surface, including the differential privacy budgeting system, real-time API privacy controls (TCF/GPP), and OpenDSR data subject request workflows. Anticipate regulatory shifts and translate them into prioritized platform investments. Cross-Functional Leadership : Influence Engineering, Design, Solutions, Sales, and Customer Success teams. Partner with GTM on positioning, packaging, and internal enablement. Make trade-offs across competing initiatives and bring solutions—not just problems—to the table. Communication : Present clearly to internal and external teams, and write customer-facing collateral that helps the GTM team tell a compelling product story to publishers, advertisers, and data partners. Qualifications Product Experience : 5+ years of product management, ideally in adtech, data platforms, clean rooms, or technically complex B2B SaaS. You’ve independently driven medium-to-large initiatives from concept to launch and defined requirements and success metrics from scratch in ambiguous, data-intensive domains. AdTech & Privacy Fluency : Strong working knowledge of advertising technology—ad servers (GAM), Prebid, SSPs/DSPs, identity resolution, first- and third-party data—and a clear understanding of privacy-enhancing technologies, differential privacy, consent frameworks (TCF/GPP), and data subject rights. LLM & MCP Fluency : Working knowledge of leading LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), with a clear point of view on where these tools accelerate product, research, and customer workflows. Experience using LLMs to automate traditionally time consuming product management workflows preferred. Strategic Ownership : You set priorities for your area based on customer outcomes, identify cross-product trade-offs, and contribute to roadmap architecture. You anticipate risks and mitigate them before they surface. Customer & Category Insight : Strong interviewer who spots patterns across customer conversations, translates complex needs into roadmap decisions, and is beginning to articulate category perspectives on data, collaboration, and privacy. Communication : Strong written and verbal communicator who produces specs detailed enough for engineering and solutions to run with, and narratives sharp enough to align senior staff. Location & Travel : Must be based in North America and willing to travel on a regular basis to visit customers and the Montreal office. Our Product team is growing. Even if you don't check all of the boxes. If you have some of the experience, are interested to learn, and think this is the right opportunity for you, we'd love to hear from you.
