Senior Product Manager, Ad Monetization

Revenue Cat gives app businesses the infrastructure and tools to build, run, and improve their monetization. Since graduating from YC's S18 batch, we've grown into the default monetization platform for mobile. We're in 50%+ of newly shipped subscription apps, we process $16B+ in annual purchase volume, and we help everyone from a solo developer to the OpenAI mobile team understand and grow their revenue.

We're a remote-first team of 150+ people across 25+ countries, guided by values we actually practice:
Customer Obsession, Always Be Shipping, Own It, and Balance. This isn't the right fit for everyone. The systems you’ll build here manage billions of dollars and touch hundreds of millions of end users, and we don’t take that lightly. You'll be expected to work hard and hold a high bar for what you ship, alongside some of the sharpest, most driven people you've worked with.

If that sounds energizing rather than exhausting, keep reading.

As Senior Product Manager, Ad Monetization, you'll join a small product and engineering team building Revenue Cat's next generation of monetization products for app developers.

Ads at Revenue Cat are early, but we’re no longer starting from zero. We’ve launched ad revenue tracking and rewarded-ad infrastructure, with strong early adoption. Our next chapter is helping developers earn more from ads: building products that connect publisher inventory with demand, improve monetization performance, and make ad monetization easier to adopt and operate.

You’ll report to our product lead for Ads and become the primary IC product owner for ad monetization. You’ll own significant parts of the roadmap end-to-end: understanding customer problems, identifying opportunities, forming hypotheses, working closely with engineering and design, shipping quickly, and using what we learn to determine what comes next.

This is still a fast-moving initiative with significant strategic latitude. We’re specifically looking for someone who has built ad monetization products for mobile apps, ideally at a mediation platform, ad network, SSP, or similar company serving app publishers. You should already understand the ecosystem well enough to contribute a strong point of view while remaining willing to challenge your assumptions as we learn.

• You have 5+ years of experience owning product decisions end-to-end. Your title may have been Product Manager, founder, or something else — what's important is that you’ve been accountable for deciding what to build and whether it worked.
• You’ve built and shipped publisher-facing ad monetization products for mobile apps, and have firsthand experience solving the product, technical, and business problems involved in helping developers monetize ad inventory.
• You deeply understand the mechanics of mobile ad monetization, including how publisher inventory, demand sources, auctions, pricing, mediation, and measurement interact.
• You understand the incentives of the different participants in the ad ecosystem and can reason about both the technical and commercial implications of product decisions.
• You is excited about Revenue Cat’s mission to help developers make more money and about expanding that mission beyond subscriptions.
• You have an entrepreneurial mindset and are excited to take an initiative with early traction and help turn it into a significant product area.
• You are sufficiently technical to work closely with engineering on SDKs, APIs, integrations, data flows, and other technical product decisions.
• You have demonstrated the ability to ship and learn quickly, including finding pragmatic solutions to hard problems with many constraints.
• You are comfortable operating with ambiguity, making decisions under uncertainty, and taking responsibility…
