United States5mo ago

In Office NA Product Manager Inventory Manager

Requirements

• PM experience in data platforms, marketplaces, catalogs/search, or supply-side systems • Strong information architecture instincts and durable abstraction design • Comfortable driving cross-functional alignment across Product, Engineering, Partnerships, and Data teams • What Success Looks Like • Teams can answer “what do we have / what can we deliver?” without spreadsheets or memory. • Faster deal scoping and fewer partner inclusion disputes. • A catalog that becomes the backbone for scalable onboarding and eventual self-service.

Responsibilities

• Build our Internal Data Catalog • Define the data model across title, asset, and partner levels. • Establish a clear state model (e.g., ingested, accessible, in pipeline, linked/enriched). • Own search and discovery across modalities; set metadata standards with Data Lab + Engineering. • Ensure catalog state is auditable and resilient to refreshes, moves, and deletions. • Represent Off-Platform Supply • Create structured visibility into partner supply not yet ingested (potential, cadence, modality coverage, volume estimates). • Enable GTM to scope deals based on available + accessible supply—not only what’s already in-platform. • Partner Systems & Enablement (make relationships scalable) • Provide visibility into partner inclusion in deals, utilization trends, and inventory footprint. • Reduce partner back-and-forth caused by unclear system truth. • Partner with Partnerships to ensure relationships are supported by scalable system representations • Cross-Functional Alignment • Work closely with: • Data Access & Delivery: to ensure discoverable supply is deliverable • Solutions Architecture: to identify catalog gaps surfaced by deals • Engineering: owns ingestion execution and infrastructure
