  • You have worked with machine learning and understand how to build a roadmap around ML priorities.
  • You have experience or an interest in advertising products.
  • You are comfortable facilitating planning and decision-making across several teams, including partners, and know how to encourage and empower teams to get things done.
  • You have sound business judgment as well as ability to analyze qualitatively, quantitatively, problem-solve, and prioritize.
  • You have strong written and oral communications skills, and can clearly communicate to technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels.
  • Where You'll Be
