Director of Product Management - Analytics

About the Role:

You will own the observability program and the product area behind it: business intelligence, agentic analysis, and workflow automation. Your job is to find the use cases that change how PubMatic operates, then get them built and adopted.

What You'll Do:

• Own the strategy, roadmap, and outcomes for observability, agentic analysis, and workflow automation.
• Identify high-value use cases across the business, size the impact in revenue, margin, or hours returned, and kill the ones that don't clear the bar.
• Prototype directly (SQL, notebooks, agent frameworks, automation tools) to prove value before asking for engineering capacity.
• Define the production path: data foundations, evaluation, guardrails, monitoring, and adoption for agentic systems.
• Partner with Engineering and Analytics to build and ship. Make clear trade-offs on build vs. buy and on what to stop.
• Set metrics for adoption and impact and report them to executive leadership.
• Lead and develop a small team of engineers and analysts.

Who You Are:

Required

• 8+ years in product management, with a record of Director-level scope and impact (owning a product area, not a feature).
• Shipped data, analytics, or BI products used for daily decisions, with measurable adoption.
• Hands-on experience with LLM or agentic systems in production: tool use, retrieval, evaluation, failure analysis, and cost and latency trade-offs.
• Technical enough to build prototypes yourself: strong SQL, working Python or equivalent, and fluency with large-scale data stacks (warehouses, streaming, semantic layers).

Preferred

• Ad tech or marketplace experience (SSP, DSP, ad exchange).
• Experience with observability or monitoring products (data quality, anomaly detection, alerting, SLOs).
• Background in forward-deployed engineering, solutions engineering, data science, or consulting.
• Experience building internal platforms where the customers are colleagues.
