About your Team

You’ll be part of Adthena’s Product team, working with the very best AI specialists in London. The team members all share a passion for user-centric design and harnessing the power of data to find innovative solutions to customer problems.

We are fanatically focused on the areas where we can make the most difference for our customers and our business. Everything we build is tied to and measured by the value and outcome it brings our users and buyers as well as its impact on our objectives.

Figuring out what we need to build and prioritising when we build it is a core responsibility. We bring the vision and context to empower great decisions for our search marketing clients, so we focus on posing the right questions that will enable us to discover the most innovative and valuable solutions. This involves ensuring that potential risks are mitigated such as value, feasibility, usability and viability risks.

We believe in a collaborative partnership where Product focuses on customer and business outcomes, while Engineering, Design and Data Science focus on how we get there. Product’s main role in execution is to be the voice of the market and make sure we achieve what we set out to do by being the glue that binds teams together.
