About the Role: As a Product Manager II on the Ad Platform team, you will plan and manage the execution of multiple features for our Audience Targeting and Measurement tracks.

• Drive targeting product capabilities — audience segmentation, data clean room integrations, identity resolution, and addressability features tied to Disney's first-party data assets
• Define and track critical metrics (coverage, match rates, measurement activation rates, reporting latency) and partner with GTM and financial planning to tie them to revenue outcomes
• Support UAT and product release readiness — including stakeholder training, documentation, and operational support
• Collaborate with a Scrum team: participate in sprint ceremonies, maintain backlog health, drive prioritization, and ensure engineering teams always have clear, consumable stories
• Champion an AI-native approach to product development — leveraging intelligent tooling and data automation to move faster and build smarter
