[Hiring] Product Manager Privacy @Sparteo

Role Description

As the Product Manager Privacy, you own how every Sparteo product collects, reads and applies consent signals. This covers the engine of FastCMP, our Consent Management Platform (CMP), and every channel that sends these signals to buyers: Actirise, Viously, and our SSP Meetscale on web, app and CTV. You lead the Privacy squad and report to the VP Product.

Your mission: monetize as much traffic as possible within privacy rules. You turn standards and laws into clear product rules. You defend the compliant interpretation that protects our publishers’ revenue, and you never apply a rule more strictly than it requires.

Key Responsibilities

• Consent Engine & Frameworks:
  • Own the roadmap of the FastCMP signal engine: IAB TCF, GPP, GPC (Global Privacy Control), Google Consent Mode and US privacy signals.
  • Define jurisdictions: which framework and which default behavior apply in each country.
  • Deliver each new standard version on time, on web, app and CTV.
• Rules Every Channel Can Apply:
  • Translate each standard and each law into product specifications for each channel: Actirise, Viously, Meetscale Web, App and CTV.
  • Own the compliance checklist that every consent-related initiative must pass.
  • Check with each channel PM that the signal is collected, respected and transmitted correctly.
• Monetization Under Privacy Constraints:
  • Separate what is mandatory from what is only recommended, and measure the revenue impact of each option before a decision.
  • Monetize traffic with no consent or partial consent: legitimate interest, contextual advertising, no-ad rules.
  • Apply the rule “measure, decide, apply”: no traffic is rejected or degraded without a measurement and a written decision.
• Compliance, Vendors & Certifications:
  • Own the IAB TCF and Google CMP certifications, and prevent any risk of deregistration.
  • Manage the vendor list and custom vendors.
  • Get each interpretation validated by our Data Protection Officer (DPO), who advises but does not decide.
• Privacy Point of Contact for Clients & Partners:
  • Be the product contact for strategic clients and partners on privacy topics: CMP migrations, regulator requests, buyer requirements.
  • Monitor upcoming regulations and standards, and turn them into roadmap items before they become urgent.
• Agentic Exposure & Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Apply the agentic-first principle: every privacy rule and configuration must be executable by an AI agent, with clean data contracts and proper access controls.
  • Work with Engagement (consent templates and A/B tests), UX Orchestration (CMP and paywall configuration), Analytics (signal measurement), FastCMP engineering and the DPO.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in privacy, CMP or ad tech, including product experience.
• Mastery of IAB TCF, GPP, OpenRTB consent fields, GDPR and ePrivacy, US privacy laws (CCPA and state laws).
• Ability to distinguish between mandatory and recommended actions, supported by data.
• Technical literacy to write specifications for engineers.
• Data-driven approach with knowledge of SQL basics, dashboards, and A/B tests.
• Experience using AI assistants in PM work.
• Fluency in English and French, comfortable communicating with lawyers and engineers.

Mindset

• Desire to make an impact and move things forward collectively.
• Pragmatic and analytical problem-solving skills.
• Able to thrive in a fast-moving environment, understanding the 80-20 principle.
• Strong listening skills that encourage self-improvement.

Benefits

• Dynamic Remote Culture: Flexible work environment allowing contributions from anywhere.
• English Work Environment: English is the working language across teams and countries.
• AI at Your Fingertips: Access to Claude for every team member.
• Close-knit Team: Collaboration, innovation, and mutual support are emphasized.
• Vibrant Social Events: Regular social gatherings and company events.
• Rapid Growth: Work with a rapidly expanding company impacting the advertising technology landscape.
• Tailored Support: Robust career development support and regular performance feedback.
• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Robust health insurance plan provided.
