Build feedback loops that continuously optimize both editorial workflows and user experience. 

  • Monetization Leadership: Play a central role in developing and refining the platform’s monetization strategies. You will explore innovative revenue models such as subscription offerings, premium content tiers, and addressable advertising solutions, balancing user experience with financial growth. 

  • Cross-Functional Leadership & Client Relationships: Act as the primary point of coordination between internal teams (engineering, design, data science, and marketing) and external clients. Maintain strong relationships with each service provider, understanding their unique needs and ensuring product roadmaps reflect these requirements. Lead client onboarding processes, ensuring smooth integrations and successful adoption of the platform. 

  • Continuous Improvement & Agile Development: Lead agile development processes, with a focus on continuous iteration and improvement. Prioritize the product backlog based on client feedback, business priorities, and market needs, ensuring the highest-impact features are delivered on time and to the highest quality standards
