Product Manager III, Media Product Management

The Expedia Group Media Solutions’ (MeSo) product management team sets the vision for our growing suite of advertising products. MeSo product managers guide our many functional internal teams toward a common goal: shipping timely, high-quality, performant ad products and features oriented to sate market demand and gracefully complement our travelers' shopping experience. As custodians of a two-sided marketplace that accommodates both MeSo’s B2B advertiser clientele as well as millions of travel shoppers to Expedia Group's global family of websites, the MeSo Product team builds media products at scale to serve both constituencies while remaining vigilant in our pursuit of simplicity.

The Product Manager III, Global Media Audience Extension (known internally as 'Passport Ads') is a fast-paced role responsible for enabling endemic advertisers to use our rich first-party (onsite) data to reach in-market travel shoppers as they browse the larger Internet. Positive relationships with several MeSo functional teams, including operations, sales, product, engineering, and finance, are key to ensuring operational scale on a global basis. Account managers and their advertiser clients regularly rely on this product manager's go-to-market strategies and mentorship to optimize their campaign implementations.

Central to the role's charter is enabling greater campaign relevancy, reach and results for advertisers off-platform. Passport Ads’ is one of MeSo's biggest growth opportunities in our ambitious pursuit to remake, modernize and extend our Display ads platform. How will we achieve this north-star goal? It starts with a forward-thinking product futurist who can quickly assimilate Passport Ads' sophisticated ecosystem and devise winning strategies that improve pricing, analytics, and workflow efficiency. It continues by bringing your digital advertising expertise and analytical acumen to every product discussion as you steadily simplify Passport Ads' infrastructure via a series of progressive enhancements. And ultimately, you'll notch notable increases in product adoption, retention, and revenue by overcoming multiple competing priorities.

• Define, develop, and execute the vision, roadmap, and requirements for Passport Ads

• Develop a command of all technology platforms (AdBook+, Google DV360, EG Audience Builder) that power Passport Ads

• Grow proficiency in programmatic buying practices and demand-side platforms
