Director, Product - Adtech (US)

The Machine is the agentic operating system for marketing, built by Code and Theory. It plugs into the tools marketing teams use and turns disconnected workflows into a single intelligent system, connecting brand strategy, creative production, and media performance. The Machine helps power agencies across Stagwell's network and world-leading brands.

We're looking for a Director of Product Management, Adtech who will lead the development of AI-driven and agentic experiences within The Machine's media and adtech portfolio, translating complex data capabilities into intuitive, high-impact tools for media, strategy, and marketing teams. This role sits at the convergence of AI orchestration, adtech, product design, and workflow innovation, turning conceptual use cases into scalable, production-ready systems. You will own high-leverage experiments, shape how users interact with generative and reasoning models across the media lifecycle — planning, optimization, trafficking, measurement, and reporting — and help define The Machine's next generation of features for the vertical.

The ideal candidate combines fluency in AI systems and the adtech ecosystem, a sharp product sense, and comfort bridging strategy and engineering.
