About the role

  • MediaAlpha is a customer acquisition solutions provider powered by technology and data science.
  • You'll be fully accountable for the outcomes that strategy produces.
  • You'll also mentor other product managers across the demand organization, raising the bar for strategic thinking, execution, and product craft.

Responsibilities

  • Be accountable for the platform's business outcomes by defining and optimizing the product capabilities and marketplace mechanisms that drive advertiser acquisition and retention, campaign performance, conversion lift, LTV growth, and marketplace margin.
  • Own the advertiser experience end-to-end across self-serve and managed workflows, serving carriers, agents, and performance marketers across all MediaAlpha verticals.
  • Lead the evolution of bidding, targeting, and auction mechanics in partnership with data science and engineering to improve advertiser ROI and marketplace efficiency.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, design, data science, and go-to-market teams, ensuring coordinated execution against product strategy and roadmap priorities.
  • Ensure product requirements and specifications provide clear context and direction for engineering and design execution.
  • Partner with product marketing, sales, and customer success to support successful go-to-market planning and launches.
  • You'll partner closely with engineering, design, data science, product marketing, and our demand sales and account management teams.
  • Our philosophy and actions are built on the premise that as an employer and citizens of our communities, we can create opportunities for lasting change.
  • The MediaAlpha Exchange Demand Platform is how advertisers across auto, home, life, personal finance, and Medicare find, bid on, and win their ideal customers in real-time auctions for clicks, calls, and leads.
  • You'll set the long-term direction for how advertisers build and run campaigns, set bidding and pacing strategy, integrate via API, and measure what's actually driving conversion and LTV.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years at the Staff level.
  • Experience with ad-tech, performance marketing, or programmatic advertising, especially in marketplaces or exchanges.
  • Track record of shipping complex, multi-stakeholder products iteratively and measuring their impact on real business outcomes.
  • Strong data-product instincts: you've worked with auction mechanics, bid optimization, performance analytics, or marketplace economics, and you can reason about trade-offs with engineering and data science.
  • Ability to balance competing needs across advertisers, internal go-to-market teams, and engineering, and distill them into a coherent, sequenced roadmap.

Nice to have

  • We value strong, general PM craft over specific domain familiarity.
  • However, let us know if you have experience in any of these areas/fields:
  • Insurance, personal finance, or Medicare verticals.
  • Campaign management tools, DSPs, or advertiser-facing reporting and analytics platforms.
  • Enterprise APIs and integration-heavy products.

Compensation

  • We are excited to offer a competitive cash compensation of $160,000 to $200,000 per year for this position, based on experience and qualifications.
  • Annual bonus program and participation in our Restricted Stock Unit program

Benefits

  • The company provides industry-leading solutions designed to reach consumers shopping within high-consideration categories such as property and casualty insurance, health insurance, life insurance, and more.
  • This role owns the vision, strategy, and business outcomes for the product that sits at the center of that problem.

Company info

  • You'll balance advertiser sophistication (granular controls, custom bidding logic, deep reporting) with approachability for teams who don't want to become ad-tech specialists to run complex campaigns that continue to yield high ROI for our customers.
