The Role - Senior Product Marketing Manager 

We’re looking for a Senior Product Marketing Manager to own and drive the go-to-market strategy for our Ads business. This role sits at the intersection of product, commercial, and brand—translating sports-powered advertising capabilities into differentiated narratives that win across brands, agencies, leagues, sportsbooks, broadcasters, and content owners.

You will lead end-to-end GTM for Ads solutions, shape the category narrative around sports-driven adtech, and ensure our commercial teams are equipped to win.

What You’ll Own

Go-to-Market Leadership

• Own Ads GTM sprints and multi-surface narratives across product releases and solution launches.
  
  
• Drive end-to-end GTM for Ads capabilities supporting media execution (creative services, analytics, bid strategies, identity solutions).
  
  
• Sequence launches and campaigns against the global sports calendar (fixtures, tentpole events, rights windows).
  
  
• Run structured launch checklists, readiness scorecards, and post-launch performance readouts.
  
  
• Surface risks early with clear options and recommended actions.
  
  

Positioning & Messaging

• Deep integration into existing programmatic infrastructure
  
  
• Exclusive, high-value sports audiences

• Translate product strengths into segment-specific value propositions tied to measurable outcomes (CPA, CPC, CPM, CPI, FTD).
  
  
• Connect identity, privacy-safe targeting, contextual intelligence, and predictive analytics into one cohesive story.
  
  

Thought Leadership & Category Development

• Shape and articulate our POV across identity, adtech integration, AI-powered optimization, and sports data triggers.
  
  
• Develop keynote narratives, webinars, and white papers that connect sports signals to dynamic creative, incremental reach, and CTV performance.
  
  
• Partner with PR/AR to amplify cross-product narratives and elevate executive visibility.
  
  

Sales Enablement & Segment Strategy

• Build segment-specific toolkits for:

• Sportsbooks/Operators
  
  
• Broadcasters & Content Owners
  
  
• Deliver discovery frameworks, objection-handling guides, ROI models, demo scripts, sports-moment playbooks, and broadcast/in-stream inventory strategies.
  
  
• Translate win/loss insights into “why we win” messaging, pricing and packaging tests, and bundling strategies.
  
  

Insights, Performance & Enablement

• Run disciplined win/loss analysis across identity graphs, creative platforms, and sports-specific adtech solutions.
  
  
• Maintain a single source of truth for Ads case studies, approved benchmarks, testimonials, and reporting artifacts.
  
  
• Integrate dashboards and real-time insights into customer-facing materials and analyst briefings.
  
  
• Define and own Ads GTM KPIs, including:
  
  
• Self-serve vs. managed-service mix
