Job Description

<p><strong>About the Role:</strong></p>

<p>You will own the observability program and the product area behind it: business intelligence, agentic analysis, and workflow automation. Your job is to find the use cases that change how PubMatic operates, then get them built and adopted.</p>

<p><strong>What You'll Do:</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Own the strategy, roadmap, and outcomes for observability, agentic analysis, and workflow automation.</li>

<li>Identify high-value use cases across the business, size the impact in revenue, margin, or hours returned, and kill the ones that don't clear the bar.</li>

<li>Prototype directly (SQL, notebooks, agent frameworks, automation tools) to prove value before asking for engineering capacity.</li>

<li>Define the production path: data foundations, evaluation, guardrails, monitoring, and adoption for agentic systems.</li>

<li>Partner with Engineering and Analytics to build and ship. Make clear trade-offs on build vs. buy and on what to stop.</li>

<li>Set metrics for adoption and impact and report them to executive leadership.</li>

<li>Lead and develop a small team of product managers and analysts.</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>Who You Are:</strong></p>

<p><em>Required</em></p>

<ul>

<li>8+ years in product management, with a record of Director-level scope and impact (owning a product area, not a feature).</li>

<li>Shipped data, analytics, or BI products used for daily decisions, with measurable adoption.</li>

<li>Hands-on experience with LLM or agentic systems in production: tool use, retrieval, evaluation, failure analysis, and cost and latency trade-offs.</li>

<li>Technical enough to build prototypes yourself: strong SQL, working Python or equivalent, and fluency with large-scale data stacks (warehouses, streaming, semantic layers).</li>

</ul>

<p><em>Preferred</em></p>

<ul>

<li>Ad tech or marketplace experience (SSP, DSP, ad exchange).</li>

<li>Experience with observability or monitoring products (data quality, anomaly detection, alerting, SLOs).</li>

<li>Background in forward-deployed engineering, solutions engineering, data science, or consulting.</li>

<li>Experience building internal platforms where the customers are colleagues.</li>

</ul>

<p> </p>
