ABOUT SIMULMEDIA Simulmedia is a TV advertising technology company helping brands and agencies reach audiences across linear TV, streaming (CTV), and in-game advertising. Our product suite — TV+, Skybeam, and PlayerWON — powers data-driven campaigns at scale. With ~100 employees across New York and Ukraine, we operate as a coordinated global team where Product and Engineering collaborate closely across both hubs.

THE ROLE We are looking for a VP, Product Strategy & Operations to join our leadership team in New York.

Drive rigorous product operations: discovery process, GTM readiness, stakeholder feedback loops, and post-launch reviews

Own the product strategy for a portion of the customer journey: translate roadmap investments into clear business value for commercial stakeholders

Lead and develop a team of Product Managers and Product Designers; drive ownership, performance, and growth

Serve as the senior Product leader in US executive and commercial conversations

Partner with the SVP of Product Management and engineering leadership on company-wide product strategy, roadmap alignment, and goal execution

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

8+ years in product management or product strategy, with 2+ years at the Director level or above

Experience leading and developing a team of PMs in a B2B SaaS environment

Proven ability to operate at the executive level, aligning cross-functional stakeholders and influencing without full authority

Strong business acumen: You connect product decisions to revenue, retention, and pipeline outcomes

Experience bridging distributed teams; structured communication habits across time zones

Hands-on with AI-native tools (Cursor or Claude Code); you use them in your daily work and are eager to co-create an AI-forward culture across the product team

Comfort operating in a lean, high-ownership environment

Background in advertising technology, media, or marketing technology preferred; experience with both self-service and managed-service product models is a plus

WHY SIMULMEDIA

TV advertising is undergoing its biggest structural shift in decades; we are building the infrastructure that wins
