Product Manager, Addressable/Indexed TV

Cadent powers the evolution of TV advertising. We provide marketers, agencies, operators, and media owners with data-driven solutions for buying and selling TV advertising. By connecting brands with opportunities across national inventory sources—cable, broadcast, and digital media—our technology improves efficiencies and improves the performance of advertising campaigns across video channels.

Cadent is looking for a passionate Product Manager to provide product strategy, management, and execution of the Cadent Addressable and High Indexing Linear (HIL) software platforms.

You will be working with a team of individuals who are great teammates and critical thinkers – your time at Cadent will level you up in many ways. You’ll get to work as a product leader and to collaborate with engineers, user experience teams, and client-facing teams who are all working to redefine the advanced advertising space in the US and abroad. You’ll have opportunities to take ownership over solutions and solve complex problems from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives.

Cadent’s platform product team has a start-up mentality. You will be given an opportunity to execute on a vision and make a noticeable contribution to the business’s success. You will work on modern technologies: cloud-based data platforms, machine learning algorithms, AI-powered systems and automated workflows.

About You:

• You have a bias toward action and you act on your ideas.
• You are someone who sees solutions in problems and you do something about it without being asked.
• Great communicator – you understand the difference between high and low-touch communication methods and when to use both. You can place yourself in our client’s shoes and relay their needs. You are someone who can communicate clearly and effectively to get your ideas across (both on a video call and in writing). You are someone who can inspire a team to turn your ideas into reality.
• Creative – you are an out-of-the-box thinker to drive new ideas and ways of solving problems.
• Independent thinker – you have a willingness to defend your ideas and the wisdom to recognize a better one; someone who is not affected by strong opinions, only swayed by good ideas.
• Enthusiastic – you are a team player who brings a sense of positive energy and inspiration to everything you do.

What You Will Do

• Integrate with the product team to achieve your goals. These teams consist of product managers, product owners, business analysts and UX/UI staff members.
• Lead a talented team of software and QA engineers to deliver new features based on your roadmap
• Define, own and communicate a product roadmap that deliver products and features and drive revenue growth through strong positioning and differentiation.
• Ensure that business goals are met and allow us to reveal powerful usage insights and drive strategic decision-making for customers and the industry.
• Collaborate with key functional stakeholders (including data science, sales, marketing, services, support, engineering, and finance) to establish product plans, pricing frameworks, business cases and go-to-market plans for platform solutions and new reporting solutions.
• Support sales and other customer-facing teams in high-value meetings with prospects and customers.
• Cultivate a deep understanding of the TV and Advertising space, including engagement with all segments of the customer base.

Basic Qualifications:

• 3-5 years of total experience; ideally in product related roles
• Great attitude and a love of teamwork
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Evidence of management, communication, and leadership skills
• Ability to thrive in a challenging, fast-paced environment
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field experience (advanced degree preferred)
