A proven track record of owning revenue metrics with experience building plans, forecasts and growth strategies. Deep hands-on understanding of the programmatic stack , including auction mechanics, bidding architecture, ad serving, measurement, identity and yield optimization. You should be able to go deep enough with engineering and partners to challenge assumptions and identify the real constraint. Strong publisher-side monetization expertise , including pricing, yield management, demand optimization and the trade-offs between revenue, fill, latency and user experience. Leverage AI to drive efficiency and performance — use AI models and tooling to forecast performance, identify anomalies, optimize yield, automate workflows and reduce manual reporting, while applying human judgment where it adds the most value. Experience operating across multiple global markets , with a strong understanding of how programmatic strategy, demand dynamics, pricing and user behavior differ by geography.

Beyond just technology. It has built a way of working. Across 16 offices globally, through every pivot and breakthrough, one thing has remained constant: we are builders, dreamers, doers. We are fluid enough to move fast, grounded enough to own outcomes, and human enough to care deeply about the work and about one another. Culture is at the core of that ethos. It has been co-created by the people who built this company and by those continuing to shape it every day. It lives in how we work, how decisions are made, how teams show up for one another, and how seriously we take the responsibility to build the best. This is a place where ambition and belonging occupy the same space. Where the bar is high and the support is real. Where freedom comes with trust, and trust comes with accountability. Where you are valued not only for what you do, but for the perspective, judgment and humanity you bring to the work. Where you will be challenged by the work and supported by the communities, passions and experiences that shape who you are beyond your role.
