What You'll Do

• Evaluate and structure short‑term incentive requests and make‑good/credit negotiations, while partnering directly with Sales to meet client needs while protecting Yahoo's margin.
• Support economic analysis and modeling for advertiser and agency endeavor deals, projecting revenue, RNOT, and margin impact.
• Conduct DSP margin and profitability analysis, surfacing trends (e.g., data monetization shifts, channel mix changes) that affect operational margin.
• Deliver monthly RNOT readouts and variance commentary to VP-level FP&A stakeholders.
• Leverage AI‑enabled tools and automation to streamline deal modeling, reporting, and margin analysis.
• Maintain and support ad hoc coverage of data pricing and deal desk requests across regions as needed.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Legal, Revenue Controllership, and Client Services on contract terms, credit approvals, and margin initiatives.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of experience in pricing, yield management, revenue operations, or a related analytical/finance role, ideally in digital advertising or programmatic media.
• Strong quantitative and financial modeling skills; comfortable building, maintaining, and defending complex deal economics under time pressure.
• Proven ability to work independently and lead conversations directly with senior Sales stakeholders.
• Track record of driving measurable outcomes in negotiations, with the ability to speak to the specific dollar impact of past work.
• Experience leveraging modern analytics, automation, or AI‑enabled tools to improve efficiency in reporting or analysis.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and competing priorities across Sales, Finance, and Legal.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to senior (VP‑level) stakeholders.
• Familiarity with programmatic/DSP advertising concepts (PMP, tech fees, data fees, RNOT) is strongly preferred.
