About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Platform Product Manager who can identify operational workflows worth automating, build the roadmap to improve them and drive implementation across teams. In this role, you’ll work closely with internal business owners and operations teams to understand how work happens today, where decisions are manual and where systems can improve speed and efficiency. You will translate these opportunities into product requirements, automation workflows and AI-enabled decision systems that improve performance across our marketing marketplace. The ideal candidate has experience in performance marketing, lead generation or marketplace-based businesses and can turn operational insights into scalable product capabilities.

Why Join DMS?

At DMS, our platform powers millions of consumer interactions and real-time marketing decisions every day. We operate at the intersection of performance marketing, data and large-scale decision systems that directly impact revenue across the business. We’re making a major investment in AI-driven automation and smarter operational systems. In this role, you’ll identify where manual processes slow the business down and build intelligent solutions that help teams move faster and make better decisions. You’ll work closely with operations leaders, engineers and business stakeholders to deliver automation that improves efficiency, unlocks new opportunities and drives measurable impact. If you enjoy solving complex operational problems, building systems that scale and seeing your work directly improve how a business runs, this role offers meaningful ownership and visibility across the organization.
