Overview

The Ad Operations team is seeking an experienced Video Monetization Manager to drive programmatic revenue growth, ad yield optimization, and technical performance across Minute Media’s portfolio. In this role, you will act as the bridge between programmatic demand partners, video player settings, and data analytics, maximizing performance across key monetization metrics such as CPM, fill rate, and bid rate.

The ideal candidate is a data-driven, hands-on AdTech professional with deep expertise in video player technology (OVP), VAST/VPAID protocols, and supply-side optimization. You will be responsible for executing A/B tests, managing strategic relationships with leading SSPs and programmatic partners, and troubleshooting complex technical ad delivery issues to ensure optimal margin and traffic quality.

What You'll Do:

• Manage and grow strategic relationships with leading SSPs and programmatic partners, with a focus on the demand side.
• Own day-to-day partner success — driving spend growth, monetization, and optimization across accounts and stakeholders.
• Support the publisher team with strategic testing and day-to-day optimizations.
• Analyze performance trends across spend, fill rate, bid rate, CPM, and traffic quality to identify monetization opportunities.
• Design, run, and analyze frequent A/B tests to optimize monetization, player settings, and ad configurations.
•  Optimize video player settings — monetization, content distribution, and ad rules.
• Troubleshoot operational and technical issues: sample ad requests, discrepancies, delivery errors, margin loss, and traffic quality.

What You Have:   

• 3+ years in AdTech / programmatic advertising (Account/Partner Management, revenue operations, or AdOps). Programmatic experience is a must.
•  Strong understanding of the programmatic ecosystem (DSPs, SSPs, exchanges, identity, supply path optimization).
•  Video / OVP experience is a strong plus - video monetization, ad delivery (VAST/VPAID), and player settings.
•  Technical and analytical, able to interpret large-scale performance data and turn it into actionable recommendations.
• Hands-on troubleshooting, comfortable inspecting sample ad requests, digging into data, and resolving delivery/integration issues.
• Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP) and familiarity with Google Ad Manager, Analytics, Looker, and CRM tools.
•  High level of English written and verbal is a must.
•  Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field advantage.

Benefits

• Career development opportunities & different skill-based workshops are offered each quarter.
• Gradual return from parental leave.
• Fun company events and celebrations.
• Community involvement opportunities, both in-person and remote.
