In this role, you will be responsible for the core components that drive our network’s ads business. This role will be tasked with providing expertise on existing and planned initiatives that will grow the ads business. These include owning the strategic vision for our ad quality product — making it more robust, scalable, and deeply integrated across our SDKs and platform — driving a proactive privacy strategy that turns the evolving regulatory landscape into a growth opportunity, leading trust and safety efforts including creative moderation and ad policy, strengthening our exchange and programmatic capabilities, and identifying innovation opportunities across new supply channels, ad formats, and adjacent business areas.

• Collaborate with product leadership to craft and articulate the long-term vision and strategy across ad quality, privacy, trust & safety, the exchange, and programmatic, driving alignment across teams and stakeholders.

• Collaborate with the Data Platform team to identify opportunities for improving our models, reporting, and workflows, ensure data infrastructure and insights are accurate, comprehensive, and drive meaningful outcomes.
• Partner with strategic partnerships and engineering teams to evaluate and pursue emerging opportunities — including new supply channels (e.g., CTV), commerce initiatives, non-gaming demand, and brand advertising.
• Lead early-stage prototyping, opportunity sizing, and strategic recommendations that give the business optionality for future growth.
• Continuously assess the health and performance of the ad network, tracking market trends and adapting to shifts. Identify risks, opportunities, and proactive strategies to navigate changes effectively.
