Let's build a better industry.Position OverviewThe Sr. Director, Product Management — DV Marketplace Suite owns the product vision, strategy, roadmap and delivery for DVMS: DoubleVerify's solution for protecting and optimizing programmatic marketplaces. DVMS provides fraud/IVT protection, brand suitability and viewability measurement across desktop, mobile web, mobile app and CTV, helping platforms, exchanges and publishers ensure marketplace inventory is human, viewable and brand-safe. It is one of DV's fastest-growing businesses.Your customers are the marketplaces themselves — SSPs, exchanges, ad networks and DSPs — who license DV's measurement and pre-bid capabilities to differentiate their supply to buyers. That makes this a distinctive product challenge: you are building for users who work inside someone else's platform, on someone else's release cycle, under commercial terms negotiated partner by partner. Success depends as much on integration design, packaging and partner economics as it does on features.The role is highly cross-functional by design. DVMS is powered by capabilities that span the company — fraud detection, brand suitability, viewability, attention, pre-bid segment infrastructure, measurement tag foundations and data delivery. Turning that breadth into a coherent marketplace product, and building the partnerships across DV needed to deliver it, is the core of the job. This is a role for someone who excels at collaboration, relationship-building and ideating creative solutions.You will lead a small, senior product team and be accountable for product strategy and execution that drives revenue growth: extending measurement into new quality dimensions, deepening supply-path and inventory-quality insight, bringing attention measurement to new marketplaces, leveraging AI-powered innovation, and expanding DV's reach across the programmatic ecosystem.
