• Experience across areas such as CRO, retention, merchandising, customer journey optimisation, CRM, UX or ecommerce trading
• Strong strategic thinking and ability to influence direction internally and externally
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, entrepreneurial and high-ownership environments
• Leadership experience or strong leadership potential within ecommerce growth functions

What’s On Offer

• High-impact strategic growth role with genuine ownership and visibility
• Opportunity to shape the future direction of a growing ecommerce consultancy
• Fully remote working with optional office access in London and Bristol
• Entrepreneurial, collaborative and fast-moving culture
• Exposure to exciting high-growth DTC and ecommerce brands

Our client is a high-growth consumer platform with millions of engaged users and a rapidly scaling retail media proposition. Following significant year-on-year growth, they are now investing heavily in the next evolution of their Retail Media Network and are looking for a Senior Product Manager to help shape and scale the business.

This is not a role focused on maintaining an already mature platform. The business is looking for a highly pragmatic, commercially minded product leader who can help build and evolve retail media capabilities in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.

The role sits at the intersection of product, commercial, data, engineering, and AI-enabled innovation — with a major focus on measurement, monetisation, automation, and scalable advertising products.

• Own and shape the retail media product roadmap across measurement, attribution, sponsored products, self-serve tooling, and automation.
• Work closely with commercial leadership to evolve the retail media proposition and unlock new advertiser budgets.
• Partner daily with engineering, data, design, and analytics teams to deliver scalable monetisation products.

Retail Media & Monetisation

• Develop products that improve advertiser performance, measurement, and campaign scalability.
• Help evolve the business from an affiliate-led model toward a broader retail media network proposition.
• Drive improvements in attribution, incrementality testing, reporting, and pricing capabilities.
• Support the expansion of new ad formats and monetisation opportunities.

AI, Automation & Product Innovation

• Identify opportunities where AI and machine learning can genuinely improve product capability and operational efficiency.
• Help shape AI-enabled tooling across reporting, optimisation, targeting, and automation workflows.
• Maintain a pragmatic, commercially grounded approach to AI implementation.
• Partner with technical teams to assess build vs buy decisions across AI and platform infrastructure.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Work closely with Commercial, Engineering, Data, Design, and Analytics teams.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships while maintaining product integrity and strategic direction.
• Operate effectively in an environment with evolving processes and priorities.
• Bring clarity, structure, and momentum within a scaling product organisation.

Your Profile

• Strong product management experience within retail media, adtech, monetisation, marketplaces, advertising products, or adjacent consumer technology environments.
• Experience working in ambiguous or scaling businesses where processes and infrastructure are still evolving.
• Strong commercial instinct combined with pragmatic product judgement.
• Comfortable operating hands-on with engineering, data, and commercial stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of measurement, experimentation, attribution, or advertising performance products.
• Exposure to AI-enabled product development, automation tooling, or machine learning applications is highly desirable.
• Strategic thinker who can also deliver iteratively and move quickly.

What’s On Offer

• Opportunity to shape a strategically critical revenue stream within a large-scale consumer platform.
• High ownership and visibility across the business.
• Collaborative and ambitious product environment.
• Significant scope to influence product strategy, AI adoption, and commercial growth.
• Hybrid working and competitive package.
