Job Summary

Drive AI-enabled analytics platform strategy and cross-team adoption within a large agency network.

  • Define and co-own the platform roadmap and coordinate AI workstreams across business and technical teams.
  • Must-have: 12+ years in strategy/operations/product in advertising or martech.
  • Standout: Proven cross-functional leadership across data, engineering, and agency partners with data-collaboration experience.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Partner with the CDAO, Audience Strategy, and Publicis engineering resources to define and co-own the product roadmap for Infinite Roar’s proprietary analytics and intelligence platform.
  • Project-manage and co-prioritize AI development workstreams across IR contributors and Publicis-shared technical resources.
  • Design and maintain a centralized requirements architecture capturing tool needs, feature requests, and technical specifications. You will partner with subject matter experts to field inputs while owning documentation standards.
  • Drive platform adoption across the agency by building feedback loops, creating a core user group to dog-food product features, and managing iterative refinement cycles before wider release.
  • Own workstreams to build AI competency across the broader agency.
  • Co-own LiveRamp clean room deployments alongside Audience Strategy; audit existing implementations to architect a framework for best-in-class data collaboration executions and spec integration into our platforms.
  • Scope and co-productize multi-touch attribution (MTA) offerings; define integration specifications for platform deployment.
  • Build relationships with Incubation and Data teams to understand use cases, requirements, and standards necessary for integration into proprietary platforms; own the specifications for platform onboarding.
  • Stay abreast of AI technologies, workflow applications, and industry innovations to provide education, positioning, and strategic recommendations to the IR leadership team.
  • Architect DTAI’s operational framework: planning cycles, OKR tracking, resource allocation models, and cross-team prioritization systems.

Requirements

  • 12+ years of progressive experience across strategy, operations, analytics, product management. Ideally, you bring a meaningful chapter in advertising, media, or marketing technology.
  • Demonstrated experience building or scaling functions, products, or teams in complex, matrixed organizations. Startup experience or an entrepreneurial track record is strongly preferred. You’ve operated without a playbook and built structure from ambiguity.
  • Equal parts strategic thinking and operational execution. You are equally comfortable defining a product roadmap and running a weekly sprint.
  • Strong systems thinking and product management instincts: you naturally think in platform architecture, workstreams, dependencies, timelines, user feedback loops, and risk mitigation.
  • Deep technical fluency: you don’t need to write production code, but you can architect integration strategies, define platform requirements, and speak intelligently about data pipelines, APIs, clean rooms, identity resolution, measurement frameworks, and AI/ML applications.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You are comfortable drafting executive-level content, translating technical complexity for non-technical stakeholders, and shaping narratives that land with senior audiences.
  • Working knowledge of AI/LLM tools and a clear point of view on how emerging technology reshapes workflow, decision-making, and competitive advantage.
  • High EQ and stakeholder management instincts. You can read a room, manage up and across, build trust quickly, and move through organizational complexity without creating more of it.
  • A “figureoutability” mindset and Day 1 readiness. You show up ready to own it from the jump, with a can-do attitude that raises the bar for those around you.

Preferred

  • Experience in or adjacent to a Platform Operations, Technical Program Management, Strategy & Ops, or Business Operations function.
  • Background in analytics, data science, or quantitative disciplines, even if you’ve since moved into strategic or operational leadership.
  • Familiarity with Publicis Media, holding company agency structures, or the broader media agency ecosystem.
  • Hands-on experience with data collaboration platforms (LiveRamp, Habu), identity solutions, CDPs, or clean room technologies.
  • Experience designing and managing platform or product roadmaps in a cross-functional, multi-stakeholder setting.
  • Experience building or operationalizing AI-assisted workflows at an organizational level.

Benefits

  • Publicis Groupe motto “Viva La Différence” means we’re better together, and we believe that our differences make us stronger. We celebrate all identities and strive for belonging and inclusive experiences for all talent.
  • Publicis Groupe provides robust and inclusive benefit programs to support the evolving needs of our talent, including medical coverage, dental, vision, disability, 401K, parental and family care leave, tuition reimbursement, and flexible time off.
