• Define product requirements in collaboration with cross-functional and cross-department teams, including the advertiser experience, ad serving, and yield optimization teams.
• Advocate for advertiser needs and equip leaders across business and technology with the necessary tools and visibility to grow the advertising business.
• Partner with engineering, partner product teams, data science / machine learning, economics, analytics, and others to identify platform needs and pain points to inform the vision and roadmap for ad platforms.
• Partner with the engineering team to drive timely and smooth execution by performing sprint rituals like grooming, planning and retrospective.
• Drive go to market for your products in partnership with internal or external stakeholders.
• Build and maintain product roadmap along with constantly monitoring the success and measuring the impact of your products/features.
• Influence the evolution of Wayfair's strategy for advertising offerings.

• Ability to keep up in highly technical conversations, with experience leading technical products and ability to think and act both tactically and strategically, with experience leading cross-team initiatives.
• A customer-centric mindset with a strong ability to conduct rigorous customer (internal or external) interviews and convey the "why" behind technical decisions. 
• Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills, with a proven ability to dive deep into data and produce actionable insights.
