About this role

<div class="content-intro"><h3>About Northbeam</h3> <p>Northbeam is building the world's most advanced marketing intelligence platform, providing top eCommerce brands a unified view of their business data through powerful attribution modeling and customizable dashboards. Our technology helps customers accurately track ad spend, understand the full customer journey, and drive profitable growth. Machine learning has been at the heart of Northbeam since day one: our full suite of measurement, spanning multi-touch attribution, MMM+, and incrementality, is built on it, along with laser-accurate first-party data. Now we're taking that foundation further, using AI to help brands operationalize their data and turn Northbeam insights into automated decisions.</p> <p>We're experiencing rapid growth, have strong product-market fit, and are looking for the right people to help us scale. This is a rare chance to make a meaningful impact at a fast-moving, high-growth company. At Northbeam, you'll join a team of driven, collaborative, and talented individuals who value personal growth and excellence. We'd love for you to be part of our journey.</p> <p>We're a remote-friendly company with physical offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles.</p></div><h2><strong>About the Role</strong></h2> <p>We are a design-led, customer-first organization. Product and Design sit together as one team by intention: we believe the best products come from deeply understanding customer problems and obsessing over the experience of solving them, not from shipping features. <em>If you believe craft, customer empathy, and speed can coexist, you'll feel at home here.</em></p> <p>We're hiring a <em>senior product leader</em> to partner directly with our Chief Product &amp; Design Officer and our CEO in shaping where Northbeam goes next. <strong>This is one of the most senior product roles in the company</strong>: you will own the company roadmap, lead our most important product initiatives from concept through execution, and manage a small team of exceptionally senior product managers (Principal level and above).</p> <p>To be clear about what this role is: it is a <strong>player-coach role where the “player” part comes first</strong>. Management is a part of the job but execution is paramount. <strong>You will personally drive major projects</strong>: writing the specs, sitting with customers, working through complex problems with engineering and data science, sweating the details with design, and pushing releases over the line. We move fast, and we're looking for someone who generates momentum rather than waits for it.</p> <p>This is <strong>VP-level </strong>role here.</p> <h2><strong>What You'll Do</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Own the company roadmap. </strong>Synthesize customer needs, market dynamics, data science capabilities, and company strategy into a clear, prioritized roadmap, and be accountable for delivering it.</li> <li><strong>Lead flagship initiatives end-to-end. </strong>Take our most ambitious product bets from ambiguous concept to shipped, adopted product. You are the driver: framing the problem, aligning the team, making the calls, and unblocking execution daily.</li> <li><strong>Work directly with customers. </strong>Spend real time with the brands and agencies who use Northbeam, through calls, onsites, and betas, to understand their measurement problems firsthand and translate that understanding into product decisions.</li> <li><strong>Drive AI into the core of the product. </strong>Champion how AI reshapes marketing measurement, from agentic analysis and natural-language insights to model-driven recommendations, and ship AI capabilities that create real customer value, not demos.</li> <li><strong>Manage and elevate a small team of very senior PMs. </strong>Set a high bar, give sharp feedback, and create the conditions for Principal+ PMs to do the best work of their careers. This is a coaching role, not a layer.</li> <li><strong>Partner deeply with Design. </strong>We're a design-led org. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with design leadership to ensure everything we ship is not just powerful but genuinely great to use.</li> <li><strong>Own product quality. </strong>Define and run the user acceptance testing process for everything we ship. You set the quality bar, decide when something is ready for customers, and make sure the team catches problems before customers do.</li> <li><strong>Run rigorous product development sprints. </strong>Set the processes for how we build: scoping MVPs, rigorously prioritizing stories, defining roll-out plans, and testing before launch. Run the sprints yourself for the initiatives you lead, and hold the team to the same operating rhythm.</li> <li><strong>Equip our go-to-market teams. </strong>Own the relationship with Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success: arm them with playbooks, help shape client messaging, provide release details, and jump in to troubleshoot when issues come up.</li> <li><strong>Collaborate across the company. </strong>Work closely with Engineering, Data Science, Sales, and Customer Success to align the organization behind the roadmap and keep execution honest.</li> </ul> <h2><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>10+ years in product management, with senior leadership experience </strong>at a B2B SaaS company; you've operated at Director level or above and managed senior PMs.</li> <li><strong>Experience working in marketing measurement, attribution, adtech or martech. </strong>Experience working within eCommerce could work if you know<strong> </strong>how marketing attribution works, including MTA, MMM, incrementality, pixel and server-side tracking, platform APIs, and privacy constraints, and you can hold your own with both data scientists and performance marketers.</li> <li><strong>A track record on data-heavy products. </strong>You've shipped products built on large-scale data pipelines, analytics, or ML models, and you
