About Disco
Disco powers a next-generation commerce media network that connects over 1,000 eCommerce advertisers to consumers on some of the world’s most recognizable retail platforms, including Mindbody, Gopuff, Fabletics, and Knitwell Group (Chico’s, Talbots, Lane Bryant). When a consumer books a yoga class or buys a new pair of jeans, Disco’s recommendation engine surfaces relevant, brand-safe offers from other consumer brands, turning everyday transactions into meaningful moments of discovery.
Since launching in 2021, we’ve raised $26M from leading investors including Felicis Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Shopify, Sugar Capital, RiverPark Ventures, and Indicator Ventures. Today, Disco’s network spans 1,000+ advertisers and publishers, driving over $1B in GMV across 150M+ permissioned U.S. shopper profiles.
About The Role
This is a builder-operator leadership role for someone fluent in ad platforms, marketplaces, and ML-driven optimization. You’ll own Disco’s product vision, roadmap, and execution across both sides of the marketplace — supply and demand — with a mandate to increase yield, performance, and platform defensibility. You will lead Product, Design, Data, and Product Marketing, and operate as a core partner to Engineering, GTM, and executive leadership. This is not a maintenance role. This is a scale and systems role.
What You'll Drive
Marketplace Performance & Optimization
- Own the strategy and roadmap for ranking, decisioning, and yield optimization systems
- Define marketplace levers: bidding, pricing, pacing, targeting, formats, and allocation logic
- Partner with Engineering + Data Science to ship models and systems that materially improve CPA, ROAS, RPM, and revenue
Supply Platform & Integrations
- Lead product for retailer, platform, and partner integrations
- Build scalable onboarding and monetization tooling for traffic sources
- Design products that make Disco the easiest platform for partners to integrate and monetize
Advertiser & Agency Platform
- Own advertiser-facing tools across setup, optimization, reporting, experimentation, and budget control
- Support diverse advertiser objectives (performance, LTV, acquisition, brand)
- Ensure platform competitiveness vs alternative buying channels
Org Leadership & Product Strategy
- Build and scale a world-class product organization across Product Management, Data / Data Science, Design, Product Marketing
- Set product narrative, strategy, and priorities aligned with company outcomes
- Establish operating cadence, decision frameworks, and execution discipline
Cross-Functional Impact
- Translate market and customer signal into roadmap decisions
- Partner with Engineering to ship quickly and reliably
- Own product decisions through a business lens — margin, revenue, and scalability
What We're Looking For
Experience
- 10+ years product experience, including 5+ years leading teams at Director/VP level or above
- Deep expertise in: Ad platforms or marketplace systems, Bidding / ranking / allocation logic, Yield optimization or supply-demand balancing systems, ML-driven optimization products
- Proven track record managing multi-disciplinary orgs (Product, Data, Design, PMM)
Domain Fluency
- You’ve built products for both sides of a marketplace, including: Supply/publisher/seller systems (integrations, controls, policy, monetization) and Demand/advertiser tooling (campaigns, optimization, measurement)
- Bonus if you've worked in: Commerce media or retail media networks, B2B2C platforms, SaaS ecosystems with platform partners
Leadership Profile
- High-agency operator who simplifies complexity and drives outcomes
- Builder of teams, systems, and leverage
- Clear strategic thinker with strong product intuition
- Strong communicator who can align executives, engineers, and go-to-market teams
How You Operate
You’ll thrive here if you naturally:
- Move fast and ship
- Prioritize ruthlessly
- Design systems that scale
- Optimize for real outcomes, not activity
- Care deeply about customer results — advertisers, partners, and end users
