The Growth and Ad Platforms (GAP) team builds the global engine for the world’s leading online home destination that powers our customer acquisition and retention efforts touching hundreds of millions of consumers.

We’re looking for a leader to partner with Wayfair’s Brand, Integrated, and Growth Marketing team to drive product strategy and execution across a diverse array of channels, such as paid/organic social, programmatic display, online/linear video, mobile, and direct mail, that drive billions in annual revenue.

Additionally, this leader will serve as a key internal expert on ad and marketing technology, bringing deep prior experience from the brand, publisher, agency, and/or technology community. Wayfair has major relationships with Google, Facebook, and other adtech players, and the product leader will be involved in both day-to-day and strategic oversight of these partnerships.

A successful candidate for this position also should be a product athlete, with good product sense, execution using Agile processes, and outcome-driven product management. PMs also need technical fluency in underlying technologies and data to credibly engage engineers, other product managers, and data scientists in conversations around architecture and delivery.

Reporting to the head of Martech product, this role includes oversight of several product managers and potential expansion of the team in 2022.

This position can be based in Boston, Austin, Toronto, Mountain View, Berlin, or remote in other US cities with a periodic on-site presence in Boston.

You will:

• Own product discovery, strategy, development and roadmaps for the platform that drives Wayfair’s brand, integrated, and growth marketing activity. This includes paid/organic social, programmatic display, online/linear video, in-app/mobile, direct mail, influencers, and affiliates.
• Partner with Marketing stakeholders to deeply understand their businesses and co-develop potential solutions to supercharge growth, improve marketing efficiency, and increase automation.
• Use Agile processes to collaborate with Engineering and Data Science to execute on the roadmap while harnessing the power of emerging technologies.
• Recruit, lead, and mentor a team of product managers, as well as encourage a high-performance culture.
• Serve as Wayfair’s resident expert for the business functions and inner workings associated with your product area, as well as the external marketplace regarding best practices and competitive solutions.
• Communicate and evangelize the product vision and progress throughout Wayfair from C-level stakeholders on down.
• Create frameworks for build/buy decisions and manage vendor selection and relationships.
• Develop and monitor OKRs and other product metrics to ensure alignment with stakeholder and corporate objectives.
