• Lead and manage large-scale, cross-functional programs focused on digital commerce, advertising, and platform enablement, including initiatives such as:

  • Surfacing marketplace inventory across social and AI-driven platforms (e.g., Facebook Marketplace, Pinterest, etc.)

  • Enhancing and optimizing inventory shared with paid advertising partners (e.g., Google, Meta)

  • Enabling campaign optimization through improved data signals and platform capabilities for campaign setup, experimentation, and performance tracking

  • Supporting paid ads enablement for live commerce events

• Partner closely with product management and engineering teams to drive consistent, high-quality delivery through Agile methodologies at scale.

• Develop and maintain program roadmaps, project plans, and delivery schedules aligned with business and technical priorities.

• Strong experience working closely with product and engineering teams, either as a TPM or in a highly collaborative delivery role

• 4 years of minimum experience as a Technical Program Manager (TPM)
• Strong process orientation as well as business acumen and communication skills
