This role is highly strategic and cross‑functional, owning the evolution of MSN’s advertising experiences across display, native, video, sponsorships, and emerging formats.

Drive data‑informed decision making, using experimentation, performance metrics (e.g., RPM, CTR, viewability, engagement), and advertiser feedback to guide prioritization
Influence system‑level investments, including ranking, yield optimization, ad quality, and infrastructure, to improve long‑term monetization outcomes
Lead through influence, setting clarity and direction for multiple teams and PMs without direct authority, consistent with Principal‑level expectations

Requirements:

6+ years experience improving product metrics for a product, feature, or experience in a market (e.g., growing customer base, expanding customer usage, avoiding customer churn)
6+ years experience disrupting a market for a product, feature, or experience (e.g., competitive disruption, taking the place of an established competing product)
