Working with the CPO and commercial leadership, you will contribute to the organisation's overall advertising strategy: how programmatic fits within our revenue model, which standards and integrations to lead on, how our ad product evolves, and what capabilities differentiate us in the market.
You are comfortable in commercial conversations — floor pricing, yield trade‑offs, DSP relationships — and can connect those back to technical decisions
