• Support client-facing teams by developing scalable pricing strategies and packaged solutions tailored to demand and market trends.
• Guide performance readouts, reporting enhancements, and knowledge-sharing efforts that strengthen internal visibility into programmatic health.

Qualifications

• Proven expertise in CTV and/or linear TV monetization; deep familiarity with auction dynamics, programmatic infrastructure, and pricing optimization.
• Demonstrated success managing monetization strategies across SSPs (e.g., Magnite, FreeWheel, Beachfront, Index Exchange, Pubmatic) and DSPs in a multichannel media environment.
• Strong analytical acumen and ability to synthesize large data sets into actionable insights for monetization strategies.
• Excellent communicator and collaborator with executive presence and the ability to influence cross-functional decisions.
