About the role

The Role Wpromote is seeking a Vice President of Engineering to lead the engineering organization responsible for Polaris, our client CRM and marketing intelligence platform. Polaris supports client and integration management, normalized marketing data, reporting, measurement, forecasting, optimization, anomaly detection, and client insights through internal and client-facing products.

The role sits on the Product Development Leadership team and partners closely with Product, UX, Data Science, Security, Finance, agency leaders, clients, and technology vendors. It requires executive judgment and strong technical depth. The VP must be able to lead through managers and senior engineers while remaining capable of stepping into architecture decisions, critical incidents, and unfamiliar technical problems when the business needs it. You will scale the engineering organization, its leadership structure, and its development practices as Polaris grows in scope and complexity, as well as continue to push adoption of AI across software development and build the shared platform capabilities, tooling, and infrastructure that allow teams to ship faster while maintaining high standards for quality, reliability, and security.

You Will Be - Leading, coaching, and holding accountable engineering managers and individual contributors across our application stack, data pipelines, quality engineering, and cloud platform.

- Build technical leaders that reduces single points of failure and allows the organization to scale without depending on individual heroics.

- Set and reinforce a high bar for technical judgment, delivery ownership, collaboration, documentation, operational discipline, and customer impact.

- Own engineering capacity planning, staffing allocations, and the engineering operating budget. Manage cloud, data, AI, tooling, and software vendor spend.

- Partner with Product, UX, Data Science, and the Chief Product Officer to shape the Polaris roadmap, sequence investments, expose dependencies, and make clear tradeoffs among customer value, speed, reliability, cost, and technical health.

- Translate agency, client, and market needs into a coherent technology strategy across Polaris IQ, shared data products, and measurement applications.

- Maintain an actionable architecture roadmap that supports product growth while retiring fragile systems, duplicated capabilities, and unnecessary operational cost.
