- Build and improve internal tools, workflows and custom products alongside operators and developers.
- Decide what to share across agencies and where different ways of working should stay local.
- Own post-launch adoption, reliability and continued improvement.
Required profile
- A background in product management or product design translates well.
- Agency or creative production experience is a strong plus, as is experience building and leading a small team.
- Curious, empathetic and able to help people articulate problems they struggle to explain.
- Micro-interaction oriented, able to make complex systems feel simple while handling exceptions.
- Thinks about adoption, scale and long-term maintainability.
- Can bring people along, giving clear direction and developing others.
- Deeply understands AI, its strengths and its limits, and uses it effectively.
