Description

Join DAZN and help shape the future of advertising across Asia. In this role, you will contribute directly to the growth of DAZN’s advertising business by bringing innovative advertising solutions to market and collaborating with talented teams and industry partners across the region. With Japan as the primary market, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a fast-growing global sports streaming platform.

As a Senior Product Manager, you will drive advertising revenue growth across Asia, with Japan as the primary market. You will define product requirements, manage the advertising product lifecycle end-to-end, and deliver innovative advertising solutions through close alignment with internal teams and external partners. This is a regional role that combines local market expertise with broader responsibility for advertising product initiatives across Asia.

What You'll Be Doing:

Own the technical relationship and serve as the daily point of contact for multiple external partners – including ad agencies, programmatic partners, and other key ad tech vendors – to deliver and continuously enhance DAZN’s ad product experiences.
Lead the end-to-end partner integration lifecycle, from initial onboarding and implementation through to ongoing performance optimisation.
Work closely with the Product team to shape requirements and ensure seamless technical execution of new ad solutions.
Manage delivery schedules and partner performance KPIs, holding partners accountable to agreed SLAs and service levels.
Drive root cause analysis (RCA) on partner-side issues, embed the learnings, and continuously improve resiliency.
Ensure technology best practices and operational excellence across all partner engagements.

What You'll Bring:

Education: Bachelor’s degree required (Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Marketing or a related field). Master’s / MBA a plus.
Experience: 6–8 years of product management experience overall, including 4+ years in ad tech / digital advertising / programmatic monetisation.
Partner integration: Proven track record owning external partner / vendor integrations end to end (onboarding → optimisation).
Domain knowledge: Strong working knowledge of the ad delivery chain – ad serving (e.g. Google Ad Manager), programmatic (SSP / DSP / exchanges, PMP / PG, OpenRTB, header bidding) and CTV / OTT streaming ad delivery. Measurement, verification and identity a plus.
Technical fluency: Able to act as the daily technical point of contact – APIs / SDKs, VAST / VPAID / SSAI, data handling and RCA / troubleshooting.
Product craft: Demonstrated ability to define product requirements and prioritise a roadmap in a cross-functional environment.
Stakeholder skills: Excellent stakeholder management and the ability to influence without authority.
Data: Data-driven; comfortable with analytics (SQL, GA4 / Looker or similar) a plus.
Language: Business-level Japanese and English (essential for the Japan market and regional partners).
Location: Based in Tokyo; occasional regional travel.
