Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution (DMED) brings together the Company’s
best-in-class product, technology, and commercialization teams together into one
global organization. DMED is responsible for the P&L management and all
distribution, network and engineering operations, sales advertising, data and certain
key technology functions worldwide for the Company’s content engines. DMED also
manages operations of the Company’s streaming services including Disney+, Hulu,
ESPN+ and Disney+Hotstar; and domestic broadcast and cable television
networks.
The DMED Ad Platform integrates with thousands of advertisers, with over a billion
ads served per month. Before being served to a viewer, each one of these ads goes
through a sophisticated workflow involving sales and planning, targeting, trafficking,
and quality control, to deliver maximum value to our advertisers while maintaining
an engaging experience for viewers.
The Ad Applications team is where we develop the tools our advertising and other business partners use to configure rules related to advertiser and content partners that decide (among other things) where, how many, and what type of advertising to show our viewers. Our system is composed of a complex network of both internal and external systems including DMED’s streaming applications, 3rd party sales, order management, and metrics reporting and analyzing systems.
Operating at the intersection of entertainment and technology, we captivate and
connect viewers with the stories they love, and are looking for people who are
passionate about redefining advertising through collaboration, innovation,
unconventional thinking, stellar execution, committed to lifelong learning and
improving while still embracing fun. You’ll be joining a talented team that works
interdependently toward aggressive goals to deliver technically sound solutions. We
work to ensure that we share both accountability and credit as a team.
