Purpose of Position
Contribute to and execute against the product roadmap for Awin’s Publisher-facing platform, with a core focus on the re-development of Awin’s product feed and data capabilities. Work closely with senior product leadership, engineering, and commercial teams to deliver features that improve the publisher experience and drive measurable outcomes.
Key Tasks
Product Strategy & Vision
- Own and communicate a clear, compelling product vision for the Publisher Tribe that aligns with Awin’s broader business strategy.
- Define and maintain a prioritised product roadmap, balancing short-term publisher needs with long-term platform investment.

- Identify friction points and opportunities to improve publisher activation, engagement, and retention.
- Develop scalable self-serve capabilities that allow publishers to grow with less dependency on managed support.
Product Feed & Data Re-development
- Lead the strategic redesign and re-development of Awin’s product feed infrastructure, including feed ingestion, normalisation, enrichment, and distribution.
- Define technical requirements and work closely with engineering to improve feed reliability, data quality, and scalability.

- Proven ability to lead cross-functional engineering squads and drive alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to define clear product requirements and translate them into actionable user stories.

- Comfortable using data to define KPIs, design experiments, and communicate product impact.
- Demonstrated track record of owning complex, technically demanding products and delivering measurable outcomes.

- Customer-focused mindset with experience turning user insights into impactful product improvements.
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.
- Ability to engage credibly with engineers on architecture, data modelling, and technical trade-offs, not just requirements.
- Genuine curiosity about publisher needs; skilled at synthesising qualitative and quantitative signals into insight.
- Connecting product decisions to commercial outcomes and long-term platform differentiation.
- Ability to create clarity and momentum in cross-functional teams, especially in ambiguous problem spaces.
- Ability to translate technical complexity for commercial audiences and commercial context for engineering teams.
