The Principal Product Manager, CTV , will own GumGum’s product strategy and roadmap for Connected TV (CTV), driving the company’s expansion into streaming and video environments. This role will be responsible for developing differentiated, Mindset-powered CTV experiences that perform for advertisers and deliver value for publishers and audiences.
