We are AI Native

We are building an AI native company where AI is an integral part of how we build and operate. AI tool usage during interviews varies by role. You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance. Your Recruiter will provide clear guidance as you move through the interview process.

Undisclosed use of AI not previously discussed with or approved by your Recruiter may impact your candidacy.

About The Team

Life360 is building the family ads platform, and the Ads Operating Group is where that business gets built. We are a combined org spanning Product, Ads Sales & Marketing and Ads R&D, with a mandate to grow a high-value, privacy-safe ads business at the intersection of location intelligence and family life. The Product team moves fast, operates with a builder's mindset, and is creating infrastructure, partnerships, and revenue that didn't exist before. This role sits at the center of that build, connecting what we make to how we win in the market.

About the Job

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own and scale our programmatic advertising exchange and SSP capabilities within Life360’s growing Ads business. This role combines deep operational ownership, strategic product leadership, and hands-on collaboration across Engineering, Programmatic, Sales, and Partner teams.

You will be the primary product owner responsible for the stability, performance, and evolution of our exchange. This includes managing day-to-day exchange operations, guiding backlog and roadmap execution, partnering closely with Engineering on delivery, and working directly with supply and demand partners to drive optimization and growth. You will also own Ad Quality, both on the Exchange and on the L360 app. You will balance short-term operational needs and revenue impact with long-term platform scalability, reliability, and market competitiveness.

This is a highly cross-functional role in a fast-moving, technically complex environment. Success requires comfort with ambiguity, strong judgment in prioritization, and the ability to align diverse stakeholders around clear product direction.

For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $137,000 to $200,000 USD. For candidates based out of Canada, the salary range for this position is $158,500 to $185,000 CAD. We take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary - therefore, base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The compensation package includes a wide range of medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits, as well as equity.

What You’ll Do

• Own exchange operations and performance by serving as the primary product owner for exchange-related issues, integrations, and reliability, ensuring ongoing stability and rapid resolution of incidents in partnership with Engineering and Programmatic stakeholders.

• Provide strategic product leadership by defining and maintaining the product vision and roadmap for programmatic and exchange offerings, aligning priorities with company goals, market trends, and leadership direction.

• Drive monetization and exchange optimization by applying expertise in supply and demand dynamics, auction mechanics, pricing, formats, and partner mix to improve performance and scalability.

• Own and evolve programmatic integrations across OpenRTB, Prebid (client and server), and Google Open Bidding, ensuring high-quality bid flow, measurement, and partner performance across Web, Mobile, and CTV.

• Manage product-related partner relationships by supporting SSP, DSP, and technology integrations, troubleshooting complex issues, driving post-integration optimization, and acting as an internal advocate for partner needs and constraints.

• Drive future-looking platform investments by evaluating industry shifts, including AI-driven buying and selling protocols, ensuring Life360 remains well-positioned as the ad tech ecosystem evolves.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, and Business Development teams to ensure alignment, clear communication, and effective execution.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management within AdTech, with deep familiarity with programmatic advertising, SSPs, exchanges, and supply and demand dynamics.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience required; advanced degree is a plus.

• Deep familiarity with programmatic advertising and standards, including OpenRTB, Prebid (client-side and server-side), and Google Open Bidding (including troubleshooting, optimization, and integration best practices).

• Experience working
