Title: Associate Director - Product

Location: Remote (must be either UK or EU)

Experience: Strong product leadership background with deep knowledge of programmatic advertising or digital media trading.

We’re representing a high-growth performance marketing group in the iGaming space making a bold pivot: the creation of their own proprietary programmatic trading platform. This new product will give advertisers direct access to audiences through a transparent, real-time marketplace - extending well beyond the company’s core sector.

This is not about maintaining an existing system. It’s about inventing, from the ground up, a commercially viable platform that could redefine how advertisers buy and optimise media in this space.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the vision and roadmap for a new programmatic marketplace platform.
• Translate commercial objectives into product design, delivery, and scale.
• Work with engineering, data, and design teams to build an advertiser-facing platform with real-time bidding functionality.
• Shape revenue models across CPM, CPC, CPA, and hybrid deals.
• Build the go-to-market strategy: onboarding advertisers, activating first-party data, and carving out competitive differentiation.
• Operate both strategically and hands-on to launch a live beta within 6–9 months.

What We Think You’ll Need

• Strong background in adtech, martech, or digital product leadership.
• Commercial instincts: you understand both product build and revenue levers.
• Experience bringing complex, data-driven products or marketplaces to life.
• Ability to influence across technical, commercial, and executive teams.
• Curiosity, ambition, and resilience to deliver a first-of-its-kind platform.

The Package

• Up to 25% performance bonus
• Potential equity participation in future spin-out
• Private health insurance, travel allowance, flexible/hybrid working

What Success Looks Like

• Beta platform launched in 6–9 months
• First non-core campaigns delivered in Year 1
• 20% of platform revenue from new verticals by end of Year 1
