Job Description
OLX operates sustainable online marketplaces across seven markets and fifty nationalities, connecting millions of users to buy and sell secondhand goods, properties, vehicles, and jobs with backing from Prosus. The company seeks a remote Lead Product Manager to direct its global advertising product portfolio from end to end. In this capacity, the individual will oversee the core ad stack, including serving, auction, targeting, and measurement, while expanding revenue streams beyond traditional listings through self-serve advertiser utilities, programmatic demand, and retail-media formats like video and sponsored placements.
The role requires balancing commercial yield with buyer trust, particularly as advertisements integrate into AI-native surfaces such as AutoIQ and agentic search. This position suits an experienced product professional who thrives in ambiguous environments, possesses a strong zero-to-one mindset, and brings hands-on familiarity with artificial intelligence. The successful candidate will collaborate directly with engineering, data science, sales, and commercial groups, and will present strategic results to leadership executives.
Responsibilities
- Manage the global advertising product end-to-end encompassing the ad-core stack across all marketplaces and platforms
- Drive the expansion of ad revenue beyond standard listings via self-serve tools, programmatic demand, and retail-media formats like native, sponsored listings, and video
- Incorporate advertisements into AI-native surfaces while balancing financial yield against the buyer experience
- Establish and monitor success metrics including revenue, fill rate, eCPM, buyer experience impact, and advertiser return on investment
- Partner with engineering, data science, commercial, and sales teams to deliver product capabilities that stimulate revenue growth
- Represent the advertising product strategy and results before executive leadership audiences
Requirements
- Extensive product management experience within digital advertising, monetisation, ad-tech, or revenue products at scale
- Proven history of building and scaling advertising products such as programmatic ads, third-party ads, ad-serving platforms, or billing systems
- Demonstrated ability to take advertising or monetisation products from early stages to generating meaningful revenue
- Skill in balancing monetisation yield with user experience by making evidence-based trade-offs between buyer trust and revenue
- Direct experience building with AI and experimenting with artificial intelligence tools
- Ability to operate comfortably within ambiguous environments and create clarity
- Strong stakeholder management capabilities across commercial, engineering, and executive groups
Qualifications
- Prior experience working with retail media, video ad formats, sponsored listings, or native advertising within an e-commerce or marketplace setting
- Familiarity with AI-native product surfaces and the integration of advertising into artificial intelligence experiences
- Background operating across multiple markets with diverse commercial and regulatory environments
