Open Intelligence Activation, a programmable platform enabling cross-channel audience orchestration, supply-side targeting, and activation across SSP partners and Publishers.

This isn't feature-shipping. It's product leadership where your AdTech expertise, AI-powered strategy, and go-to-market conviction directly determine whether our products reshape how agencies activate audiences at scale.

AdTech Strategy & Market Intelligence

Develop positioning narratives that differentiate us (why this reshapes cross-channel activation, not just another feature)

Own launch readiness: sales collateral, partner enablement, and customer success playbooks are battle-tested before go-live

Ruthlessly kill features that don't move the needle

Work closely with Design, Data, and cross-functional teams to unblock and drive adoption
