About the role

Our core programmatic infrastructure is already in place.
We're bringing on a Yield & Monetization Analyst on a contract basis to strengthen the analytical and operational layer on top of it working hand in hand with our Data team and the rest of the monetization function.
You'll work alongside our existing monetization teams who handle the underlying ad-stack architecture and implementation

Partner with various internal and external stakeholders to define and continuously refine audience and inventory segments, and translate those cohorts into actionable targeting and pricing strategy.
Own a weekly price-floor governance cadence: review geo-tiered Unified Pricing Rules against performance, propose and apply adjustments, and track the fill / eCPM impact of every change.
Monitor daily and weekly revenue, investigate anomalies and discrepancies, and run structured A/B tests to validate floor and segment changes.
Build and maintain dashboards that tie segment performance, floor movements, and demand-source behavior to revenue, partnering with Data on instrumentation and attribution.
Support demand integrations (AdX / Open Bidding, Amazon TAM) in partnership with the monetization owner and Engineering, contributing the analytical lens.

Help translate findings into clear recommendations and briefings for Monetization, Data, and leadership stakeholders.
4+ years in yield management, ad operations, revenue / monetization analytics, or publisher monetization, with a strong analytical core.
Demonstrated experience with audience / inventory segmentation and cohort analysis, and comfort working closely with a data team
SQL and BI tooling (e.g. Looker, Tableau) a strong plus.
Hands-on Google Ad Manager fluency, especially Unified Pricing Rules and floor management, plus a solid grasp of the programmatic ecosystem (AdX / Open Bidding, header bidding, SSP / DSP / RTB).
A disciplined, cadence-driven operator who can run a reliable weekly review and keep a clear audit trail of decisions.
Strong communication - able to make segment and floor analysis legible to both technical and business stakeholders, and to coordinate across functions.
Self-directed and outcome-oriented, comfortable owning a defined scope and delivering within a fixed term.
