Product Lead

Summary

Join Blaze Ads, Automattic’s self-serve advertising product, as a Product Lead to guide its growth and enhance product-market fit. Lead a cross-functional team, focusing on user experience, campaign performance, and collaboration with other Automattic products. This hands-on role requires experience in building and scaling self-serve ad tools, understanding small business needs, and a scrappy approach to product development. You will own the product roadmap, constantly gather user feedback, and translate customer struggles into effective product solutions. The ideal candidate possesses 3–6 years of product experience, including leading a product area, and a deep understanding of ad tech. This is a fully remote position with an open vacation policy.

Requirements

• You have 3–6 years of product experience, including time as the lead PM in a meaningful product area
• You’ve worked on self-serve advertising products before, ideally for small businesses
• You understand how ad tech works, but don’t get lost in it
• You care deeply about the customer and can translate their struggles into smart, focused product work
• You’re energized by early-stage problems and don’t need a big team or process to make progress
• You’re comfortable working independently and thrive in remote environments
• You may have started out as an engineer, but you’ve been in product roles for a while

Responsibilities

• Own the Blaze product and roadmap: what we build, why, and in what order
• Help Blaze grow from a tool primarily for bloggers to one that meets the needs of small businesses getting started online. You’ll own everything from the user interface and onboarding experience to campaign performance and attribution
• Work closely with engineers and designers to simplify complex ad tech into something that feels effortless to the user. Your job is to keep the product intuitive without dumbing it down
• Talk to users constantly and make decisions based on real-world feedback
• Partner with Automattic products (WordPress.com, Woo, and Jetpack) to drive distribution and growth

Benefits

This isn’t your typical work-from-home job—we are a fully-remote company with an open vacation policy
