The Impact You Will Make

BPI is looking for a Director of Product to manage products at the intersection of advertising, communications and analytics to keep us on the leading edge. This is not your typical product management role – you will be extremely hands‑on in analyzing data, building working prototypes, and directly using the tools you build to deliver outputs for clients to understand what’s working. The ideal candidate thrives in an entrepreneurial environment and is excited about tackling new challenges across disciplines using the latest tools and technology.

What you’ll do

Work with new tech platforms and data sources to evaluate their capabilities, identify how they can solve business problems and fit into our existing data stack, and develop products that get them in the hands of our team
Build prototypes for new tools and products, working independently and with other internal teams, and then use those prototypes to evaluate what we need to build a production‑grade application
Manage analysts focused on product development work
Engage directly with key stakeholders across our team and clients to understand what’s working and shape product roadmaps
Manage product development across the lifecycle, working with engineering, data science, and other teams and clearly communicating progress and obstacles to leadership
Develop go‑to‑market strategies for internal and external products and build buy‑in for our products as an enthusiastic advocate

What you bring

8+ years of experience working in technology or product management
Demonstrated experience managing products –you’ve defined the vision, set expectations with high‑level stakeholders, coordinated between designers / developers / data scientists, and coordinated go‑to‑market efforts to successfully launch products
Hands‑on experience using data and analytics to build tools – you can use mockups, spreadsheets, scripts, or AI tools to build prototypes or test out potential offerings
Intellectually curious with a strong sense of data intuition and critical thinking – you think in first principles to untangle thorny problems or figure out how things work. You can spot discrepancies in a data set from a mile away
A product‑focused mindset –after you’ve done a task for the first time, you can articulate a plan to scale and systematize it across a team
Principled and in‑the‑weeds understanding of advertising, communications, and/or politics – you’re excited to geek out on the cutting edge of how data applies to campaigns, whether that’s using log‑level data to measure advertising campaigns, using LLMs to predict campaign effectiveness, or modeling individual‑level media behavior using ACR data
Strong consensus building + project management skills –this is a senior‑level IC role, with substantial lateral management across teams. You can identify the right thing to build, then drive demand for that product.
Proven ability to communicate with both technical and non‑technical audiences – you can translate between engineer and statistics experts and less‑technical stakeholders and clients without losing critical details

BPI offers a wide range of benefits to U.S.-based employees, including

100% company‑paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) program with employer match up to 4%, generous time off for vacation, $50 monthly phone reimbursement, unlimited sick time, and 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents . BPI’s benefits prioritize employee wellness and progressive support to our diverse workforce.

We’re looking for all kinds of people.

We are an equal opportunity employer and make employment decisions based on individual commitment to excellence. We want to have the best qualified people in every job. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion or religious creed, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, status as a protected veteran, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information or characteristics (or those of a family member) or any other consideration made unlawful by applicable federal, state or local laws. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. BPI is dedicated to building an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible workplace that fosters a sense of belonging – so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to still consider submitting an application. We consider applications holistically and you may be just the right candidate for this role or another one of our openings!
