Director of Product

At illumin, we are transforming the advertising landscape. Our platform offers an integrated space for journey planning, execution, and reporting. It empowers marketers to connect with their audiences in powerful ways through real-time data and easy-to-use visual tools. By seamlessly combining media planning and buying in an intuitive interface, marketers can take complete control of their campaigns, meeting customers wherever they are in the buying journey and maximizing the impact of their ad spend through personalized insights for smarter decision-making.

We are at a pivotal moment, evolving into a product-led company with a team of over 100 skilled professionals and new leadership guiding our path forward. By harnessing the power of data, advancing our AI capabilities, and deeply investing in our people, we are preparing for a future that will redefine what’s possible in journey advertising.

Our work is guided by two beliefs: that the ability to execute is paramount to success and that we are only as good as our people. As we grow and transform, we are looking for team members (illumineers) who share our bias for speed, delivery over perfection, and an entrepreneurial mindset. Joining us now is a chance to be part of our transformation.

Reporting to the COO, we are hiring a Director of Product to lead our Product Management and Product Design teams and help shape the future direction of the illumin platform.

You will help answer not only what we build next, but why.
• Lead and develop the Product organization. You will coach and support a team of Product Managers and Product Designers, fostering a culture of accountability, curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. You will strengthen product practices, support professional growth, and ensure teams remain focused on delivering meaningful customer outcomes.
• Drive product strategy and roadmap execution. You will oversee product planning, prioritization, and investment decisions, balancing customer needs, business objectives, technical considerations, and market opportunities. Working closely with Engineering and Design, you will ensure product initiatives deliver measurable value for customers and the business.
