Senior Product Manager, Ad Monetization

Role overview

A senior product leader will own significant parts of an ad monetization roadmap inside a small product and engineering group building monetization tools for app developers. The role is an individual-contributor product owner reporting to the ads product lead, with end-to-end ownership spanning customer research, opportunity identification, hypothesis formation, and shipping. It suits someone who has previously built publisher-facing ad monetization products and is energized by an early-but-traction-positive initiative with meaningful strategic latitude.

Responsibilities

- Own end-to-end product decisions for ad monetization features, from discovery through validation and roadmap updates - Partner with engineering, design, data, and go-to-market counterparts to ship improvements on rewarded ads, virtual currency, entitlement grants, and revenue tracking - Talk with customers regularly to surface pain points, validate opportunities, and inform sequencing - Maintain a working understanding of the mobile ad ecosystem, including mediation, auctions, demand sources, and publisher economics - Develop and articulate a longer-term roadmap with evidence-backed bets, including willingness to stop or deprioritize work that underperforms

Requirements

- 5+ years of experience owning product decisions end-to-end, with direct accountability for outcomes - Hands-on background building and shipping publisher-facing ad monetization products for mobile apps - Deep understanding of inventory, demand sources, auctions, pricing, mediation, and measurement mechanics - Enough technical fluency to collaborate on SDKs, APIs, integrations, and data flow design - Comfort operating under ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete information - Strong written communication across technical and business audiences

Nice to have

- Prior experience at a mediation platform, ad network, SSP, or similar publisher-serving company - Familiarity with rewarded-ad infrastructure, virtual currency systems, and server-side reward validation - Entrepreneurial track record of taking an early initiative and growing it into a significant product area

Benefits and work setup

- Fully remote work designed around autonomy and flexibility - 4-5 weeks of flexible paid time off annually - Competitive equity package with a 10-year window to exercise vested options - Paid co-working desk and a separate workspace and continuous learning stipend
