Job description

Job Summary:
ProRata.ai is redefining digital advertising for the AI era through its innovative ProRata Ads platform. They are seeking a Principal Program Manager to lead the planning, coordination, and delivery of core AdTech product initiatives, ensuring successful collaboration across various teams and partners.
Responsibilities:
โ€ข Lead end-to-end program planning and execution for major AdTech initiatives, including the ad serving system, agentic backend workflows, campaign/creative management tools, scalable reporting, and fraud detection systems.
โ€ข Partner closely with the Principal Software Engineering Manager (Tech Lead) and engineering teams to define technical roadmaps, break down epics into actionable milestones, and drive on-time delivery.
โ€ข Collaborate with the frontend team, Product, and Business Development to align on requirements for campaign management, creative optimization, and advertiser/publisher-facing features.
โ€ข Manage cross-functional dependencies, risks, and blockers โ€” proactively surfacing issues and coordinating resolutions across Engineering, Product, Design, and external partners (publishers, SSPs, DSPs).
โ€ข Establish and maintain clear program artifacts: roadmaps, timelines, status reporting, RACI matrices, and success metrics to ensure transparency for leadership and stakeholders.
โ€ข Drive launch readiness and post-launch activities, including go-to-market coordination, partner integration support, performance monitoring, and iterative improvements.
โ€ข Facilitate effective working sessions, prioritization decisions, and trade-off discussions between technical constraints and business needs.
โ€ข Continuously improve program management processes, tools, and best practices as the AdTech platform scales from pilots to production traffic.
Qualifications:
Required:
โ€ข 8+ years of experience in Program Management, Technical Program Management, or related roles, with a proven track record delivering complex software products at scale.
โ€ข Demonstrated ability to manage large-scale technical programs involving distributed systems, low-latency infrastructure, and emerging AI/ML components.
โ€ข Strong technical fluency โ€” able to understand system architecture, APIs, scalability challenges, and AI concepts (LLMs, agentic workflows, inference) without writing production code.
โ€ข Excellent project and program management skills, including roadmap planning, risk management, dependency tracking, and stakeholder communication.
โ€ข Exceptional communication and influence skills โ€” able to align diverse teams (engineering, product, business) and present clearly to executives.
โ€ข Comfort operating in a startup environment with evolving requirements, high ambiguity, and rapid iteration.
โ€ข Bachelorโ€™s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
Preferred:
โ€ข Experience working in advertising technology (ad serving, programmatic, real-time bidding, or AI-driven ad platforms) is strongly preferred.
โ€ข Prior experience with GenAI/LLM-powered products, prompt engineering, or agentic systems.
โ€ข Background in adtech ecosystems (OpenRTB, header bidding, SSP/DSP integrations, ad quality, fraud detection).
โ€ข Hands-on experience with agile methodologies, Jira/Asana/Linear, and program management tools.
โ€ข Startup experience โ€” thriving in resource-constrained, high-ownership environments.
โ€ข Familiarity with cloud-native architectures and AI inference challenges.
Company:
ProRata specializes in building AI-powered search and advertising solutions that prioritize content attribution for the original creators. Founded in 2024, the company is headquartered in Pasadena, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
