This is a critical leadership role within the Ads Product organization, with significant influence over the long-term direction of Fetch’s ads platform.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Fetch’s ML-driven ads ranking and personalization systems across all surfaces.
  • Define the optimization framework balancing Fetch’s goals, advertiser objectives, and consumer experience ensuring ranking improves overall marketplace health.
  • Design the architecture and boundaries between the ad server and ML systems, determining what logic, signals, and controls live in each layer and how they integrate end-to-end.
  • Partner with cross-functional PMs to translate advertiser outcomes (e.g., reach, ROAS, purchases) into ranking objectives and optimization strategies.
  • Lead the development of ranking models, signals, and infrastructure, including feature strategy, real-time scoring pipelines, and online/offline evaluation.
  • Establish rigorous experimentation and evaluation frameworks, driving measurable improvement in relevance, personalization, and advertiser ROI.
  • Collaborate deeply with Engineering, ML, Analytics, Sales, and GTM to prioritize, execute, and continuously iterate on ranking and personalization capabilities.

Minimum Requirements:

  • 8+ years of product management experience building ML-powered ranking, personalization, recommendation, ads, or search systems. 
  • Deep understanding of ML ranking, feature engineering, real-time scoring, user behavior modeling, and entity understanding (products, offers, merchants, categories).
  • Experience in ads relevance, auction or bidding mechanics, targeting, or marketplace optimization is a plus. 
  • Proven ability to set strategy, prioritize roadmaps, and drive measurable outcomes in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
  • Demonstrated strength in balancing competing objectives across a two-sided marketplace—optimizing for user experience, advertiser performance, and platform health.
  • Strong technical fluency and ability to partner closely with Engineering, ML, Data Science, Analytics, Sales, and Marketing on data models, architecture, and trade-offs.
  • A bias for ownership, rigor, and problem-solving able to dive deep into technical details while keeping focus on long-term impact.
