VP of Product, Platform

LocaliQ is seeking a Vice President of Product, Platform to own the vision, strategy, and execution of the internal platform systems that power our digital advertising, data, and marketing products. This role is accountable for building scalable, reliable, and extensible platform capabilities that enable product innovation, operational efficiency, and long-term growth across the organization.

This leader owns the platform roadmap-the foundational systems, data, workflows, and tooling that product portfolio teams and client success teams depend on to plan, build, and operate effectively. Success in this role requires strong technical product leadership, deep partnership with Engineering, and a pragmatic approach to applying AI and automation to real business and data problems.

The ideal candidate has experience building internal platforms in complex, data-intensive environments, brings technical credibility, and understands how to drive leverage across a multi-product organization-ideally within digital advertising or adjacent ecosystems.
