## Description

### Role Overview

Connexity is seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead the development and strategic direction of our pricing architecture. This is a director-level individual contributor role focused on revenue critical backend pricing infrastructure.

### Core Responsibilities

#### Automation & Machine Learning

The successful candidate will be responsible for the evolution and modernisation of manually configured tools for valuing publisher traffic with a focus on automation and introduction of ML and AI technologies. This will involve allocating approximately 40%-50% of resources to integrating ML/AI models into the pricing logic, with the objective of increasing pricing accuracy and eliminating the need for manual overrides and legacy configurations.

#### Architectural Strategy

The candidate will evaluate the current pricing framework and design the next-generation services required to support emerging campaign types, including Sponsorships and hybrid performance models.

#### Platform Ownership

As the primary owner for the pricing roadmap, the candidate will collaborate with Engineering and our analyst to define the most impactful requirements for data ingestion, enrichment, and storage layers. We do not want to ship just for the sake of it, we want to ship the right features with the biggest impact.

#### Operational Stability

The candidate will maintain the integrity of the existing pricing stack to ensure revenue stability while simultaneously architecting the transition to new systems.

#### Stakeholder Management

The successful candidate will serve as the technical authority on pricing for the product and commercial leadership teams, providing data-backed evidence for strategic shifts and marketplace adjustments.

### Requirements

- Seniority: Minimum of 8 years in Product Management, with a significant background in backend platform infrastructure and marketplace economics.

- Technical Proficiency: Extensive experience working alongside Data Science/Analytics teams to deploy production-grade ML models. Familiarity with modern data stacks (e.g., BigQuery) is required.

- Commercial Logic: A deep understanding of how pricing algorithms influence merchant ROAS, publisher yield, and overall marketplace health.

- Independent Execution: Proven ability to manage a complex roadmap and drive cross-functional alignment without the need for a dedicated team of junior product managers.

- Problem Solving: Demonstrated ability to resolve complex data dependencies and conflicting business requirements through rigorous analysis.

- Languages: Fluent in English & German
