Overview

How You’ll Make an Impact

As Vice President of Product Management for Onsite Commerce Media, you will define and execute the product strategy for Epsilon’s onsite advertising offering, shaping how retailers grow their media businesses and how advertisers connect with shoppers. Reporting directly to the SVP of Ad Products, you will lead one of five core product pods and an organization of approximately 17, from Senior Director through Associate Product Managers, including a global team with a dotted line reporting structure.

You will apply deep retail and/or commerce media expertise, translating retailer business models, brand objectives, merchandising priorities, and shopper needs into differentiated products. You will connect Epsilon’s onsite offering with the broader identity, data, measurement, ad-serving, and campaign workflow capabilities of our ecosystem. Your scope includes Sponsored Products and other onsite and in-store formats, retailer and advertiser tools, measurement, and ad-serving capabilities that support them.

This strategic role calls for a resourceful product leader with strong commercial judgment who can translate vision into disciplined execution. You will balance important retailer and partner commitments with platform investments, make difficult trade-offs, and develop product leaders who own outcomes. Success will require close partnership with Engineering, Data Science, Design, Sales, Account teams, Operations, and fellow product leaders to deliver retailer growth, advertiser value, and relevant shopping experiences.

• Strengthen onsite monetization and product economics by improving yield, fill, advertiser performance, retention, adoption, and cost to serve. Partner with Commercial and Finance to validate the gains while protecting shopper conversion, relevance, and merchandising priorities.
• Translate retailer and advertiser needs into platform requirements, partnering with Engineering and Data Science on reliable delivery, scale, experimentation, and integrations that preserve client trust.
• Lead and develop product leaders and PMs across a distributed organization. Set clear ownership, coach decision-making, build leadership capability, and raise the quality of discovery, strategy, and delivery.

• Define a consistent product scorecard and operating cadence that connects client commitments, strategic milestones, platform health, and commercial outcomes.
