Who you are
- 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 are excited about RevenueCat'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 for the outcomes of those decisions
- You communicate clearly across different audiences and media, particularly in writing
What the job involves
- As Senior Product Manager, Ad Monetization, you'll join a small product and engineering team building RevenueCat's next generation of monetization products for app developers
- Ads at RevenueCat are early, but we're no longer starting from zero. Ad revenue tracking is live, along with rewarded-ad infrastructure including in-app currency, entitlement grants, and server-side reward validation.
We've seen strong early adoption and are entering the next phase of investment in the space
- 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
- In the first month, you'll:
- Build a deep understanding of what's live today, including ad revenue tracking, rewarded-ad infrastructure, and virtual currency and entitlement flows
- Spend significant time talking with customers using these products to understand what's working, what isn't, and where the biggest opportunities may be
- Build strong working relationships with your engineering, product, design, data, and go-to-market counterparts
- Develop context on our existing strategy, customer research, technical architecture and the hypotheses behind our current roadmap
- Begin contributing your own perspective on where RevenueCat should invest next
- Within the first 3 months, you'll:
- Take ownership of a meaningful portion of the ad monetization roadmap
- Work closely with engineering to identify the fastest and most effective ways to validate our next set of product hypotheses
- Ship or meaningfully advance your first product bets
- Establish a strong understanding of the opportunities, constraints, and tradeoffs that should shape our roadmap
- Effectively collaborate with senior stakeholders on priorities for the area
- Within the first 6 months, you'll:
- Independently drive product discovery, prioritization, and execution across your areas of the ad monetization roadmap
- Have shipped meaningful improvements for customers and developed clear signals about what we should invest in next
- Have a documented point of view on where RevenueCat should be headed in ad monetization over the longer term and what capabilities we'll need to get there
- Have materially improved RevenueCat's understanding of the ad monetization vendor ecosystem, customer needs, competitive landscape, and relevant industry trends
- Be recognized internally as a domain expert who can help the broader company reason about advertising and monetization
- Within the first 12 months, you'll:
- Be the primary IC product owner for RevenueCat's ad monetization products
- Have shipped products that create measurable monetization value for our customers and establish a meaningful new growth opportunity for RevenueCat
- Have a credible, evidence-backed view of RevenueCat's longer-term opportunity in ad monetization and a roadmap for pursuing it
- Have shipped enough meaningful bets that you've also stopped, changed, or deprioritized something when the evidence showed it wasn't delivering the value we expected
Advantages
- Competitive equity in a fast-growing, Series C startup backed by top tier investors including Y Combinator
- 10 year window to exercise vested equity options
- Fully remote work environment that promotes autonomy and flexibility
- Suggested 4 to 5 weeks time off to recharge and focus on mental, physical, and emotional health
- $2,000 USD to build your personal workspace
- $1,000 USD annual stipend for your continuous learning and growth
