We are looking for a remote, full-time Product Owner with 3-5 years of product owner or technical product manager experience. In this role, you will bridge the client needs and technical execution, managing both high-touch, custom audience requests and the development of the client's syndicated audience products.
As the Product Owner, you must be strategic and detail-oriented as you lead the end-to-end product lifecycle. You will own the\ "how\" and \"when\" of our audience delivery, collaborating closely with Data Science, Engineering, and Client Success teams to ensure every segment release is built to specification, rigorously QA'd, and delivered on schedule.
If you are a self-starter who enjoys a fast-paced, dynamic, and autonomous environment and thrives in challenging situations, Collage is the place for you. You will be at the heart of our data engine, directly impacting how our clients understand and reach their customers. This is a high-visibility role where your ability to streamline processes and ensure data integrity will be a key driver of the company's growth.
Our client unleashes the power of culture, driving brand growth with consumer insights, analytics, tools, and best practices for over 250 iconic U.S. brands. Its solutions are fueled by its cultural intelligence platform, which allows its customers to more effectively and efficiently understand, reach, and engage consumers while the U.S. undergoes significant demographic shifts. Brands build cultural fluency to activate consumers across race, ethnicity, generations, gender, and sexual identity.
Our client comprises creative, analytical, diverse, hardworking, and fun individuals with an insatiable curiosity for the new collage of behaviors and patterns driving consumers today. The possibilities of the moment and opportunity to help organizations unlock their cultural capacity inspire them to seek out predictive insights and brand impacts that are unique to their model.
