Director, Product Management

Ibotta is seeking a Director of Product to oversee the IPN Portal and lead the vision, strategy, and execution of the IPN Portal — the central platform used by Clients, Sellers/Account Managers, and Operations to discover insights, activate campaigns, optimize performance, and understand outcomes. It is critical to ensuring the Portal operates as a unified, intuitive, high-performing platform that reflects Ibotta’s evolution from a promotions marketplace into a modern performance marketing engine.

You will oversee a growing team of Product Managers across Setup, Optimization, Performance, and Portal Experience, shaping how the Portal supports all user personas and serves as the connective tissue across the full campaign lifecycle. This is a highly strategic, high-visibility leadership role that requires deep partnership with Engineering, Data Science, UX, Product Marketing, Sales, Client Success, and Operations.

This position is located in Denver, Colorado as a hybrid position requiring 3 days in office (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). Candidates must live in the United States.

What you will be doing:

• Own the end-to-end vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for the IPN Portal, ensuring it delivers a unified, intuitive, insight-driven experience for Clients, Sellers/AMs, and Ops

• Lead, coach, and scale a team of Product Managers across Setup, Optimization, Performance, and Portal Experience, setting direction, standards, and expectations for high-quality product work

• Ensure the Portal operates as a single, coherent platform by aligning information architecture, workflows, navigation, and UI patterns across all surfaces through your PM team

• Drive platform-wide collaboration with Engineering, Data Science, Architecture, UX, Product Marketing, Sales, Client Success, and Ops, ensuring teams are aligned on priorities and delivering against shared Portal goals

• Oversee the integration of Market Insights, Setup workflows, Optimization tools, and Performance Reporting into a seamless end-to-end journey that supports campaign creation, activation, and performance understanding

• Set product priorities, define success metrics, and lead quarterly and strategic planning for Portal initiatives, ensuring your PMs and partner teams are sequenced and resourced appropriately.

• Represent the Portal in senior leadership forums, advocating for platform investment, architectural sequencing, and the long-term direction of the Portal ecosystem

• Own accountability for identifying and resolving cross-surface UX, workflow, and comprehension gaps, guiding PMs and teams to address areas that impede value realization, adoption, or campaign performance

• Provide oversight and direction for major Portal initiatives, including workflow redesigns, AI-driven insights, and platform modernization efforts, ensuring they are executed effectively by your PMs and cross-functional partners

• Champion the transformation of the Portal from a promotions interface into an intelligent, predictive performance marketing platform, aligning teams and stakeholders around this vision

• Build a high-performing, customer-obsessed product culture grounded in clarity, ownership, deep customer empathy, and high-velocity execution through others

• Uphold Ibotta’s Core Values: Integrity, Boldness, Ownership, Teamwork, Transparency, and “A good idea can come from anywhere.”

What We’re Looking For:

• 8–12+ years of Product Management experience, with 3+ years managing PMs and leading through teams

• Experience with advertising or performance marketing platforms, such as campaign setup, pacing/budgeting, targeting, optimization, measurement, or reporting surfaces

• Experience leading multi-surface, multi-persona platforms such as enterprise SaaS, ad managers, marketing platforms, or complex data products

• Demonstrated excellence in product strategy, translating company vision and customer needs into clear product direction and a coherent platform roadmap

• Proven ability to drive intuitive end-to-end user journeys across complex workflows or fragmented product surfaces, by setting direction and standards for teams

• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience driving alignment across Engineering, Data Science, UX, Marketing, Sales, Client Success, and Operations

• Ability to drive both strategy and execution through teams—setting goals, removing blockers, and holding teams accountable for outcomes without being a hands-on IC

• High product sense, strong customer intuition, and a grounding in data-informed decision making, with the ability to enforce these expectations across your PM team
