The Mission

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.

Your key responsibilities

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

Your profile for this job

We are looking for someone who knows the rules well enough to know where they stop, and who defends revenue inside that frame.

• Privacy Expertise: 5+ years in privacy, CMP or ad tech, including product experience. You have shipped in this ecosystem.

• Standards Mastery: IAB TCF, GPP, OpenRTB consent fields, GDPR and ePrivacy, US privacy laws (CCPA and state laws).

• Business Sense: You can say “this is not mandatory”, and you prove it with numbers.

• Technical Literacy: You do not code, but you write specifications that engineers can apply without back-and-forth.

• Data-Driven: You measure before you decide: SQL basics, dashboards, A/B tests.

• AI Every Day: You use an AI assistant such as Claude every day, and you have already built skills and agentic workflows in your PM work.

• Communication: Comfortable with lawyers and engineers alike. Fluent in English and French.

Your mindset to share our adventure

• 🚀 You want to make an impact and move things forward collectively, building on what works and questioning what can be improved.
