As the Technical Product Manager for Analytics & Advertising, you’ll own the technical vision, strategy, and roadmap for the future of our AdTech and MarTech stacks used across our platform. You’ll collaborate very closely with engineering, marketing, editorial, studios (Watch/Video), and product design to bring analytics to life and work with cross-functional partners across Outside to learn, iterate, and shape the direction of the product performance over time.

With extensive hands-on engineering and implementation experience and deep knowledge of the technologies involved, you will shape the direction of the business. You will drive a vision to leverage bleeding-edge technology, build a rich data asset, and create a culture of making data-driven decisions across the product lifecycle and the enterprise. Your goal is to find insights that shape product direction and unlock business value. You will complement all teams with analytic depth and rigor to shape our data for downstream analytics, conduct advanced analyses that measure impact, and build dashboards that expose data to our end users.
