Product Manager of Ads

Zoosk is a leading online dating company founded by engineers, and has a solid history of iterating on what works best for our customers to help them fall in “like” and eventually love. Our smart, passionate employees collaborate across departments to help achieve our mission to empower everyone to lead a more fulfilling love life. With over 35 million active members in 80+ countries and top dating apps for both Android and iOS, we’re a lot more than just a fun place to work.

We're looking for an awesome Product Manager to help build advertising features into our existing product suite. This is a new, yet critical aspect of our product that requires end to end ownership. Very little existing structure and process exist.

* Full life-cycle product management (from strategy/concept development to tactical execution). * Define, prioritize, and implement features we use to determine to whom, when, and how aggressively we show ads on our site and app. * Develop our ad network inventory acquisition strategy. * Identify and review potential ad partnerships. * Work with our all-star engineering team to implement and roll out new ad features. * Write clear and concise requirements, user stories, prioritize development items, and coordinate schedules/milestones with Design and Engineering teams. * Work closely with Business Intelligence/Data teams to monitor and proactively identify opportunities for product enhancements via analytics, trends, and user behaviors. * Measure and report results, track bugs, and define areas for constant enhancement and optimization. * Prepare effective written correspondence and present information to management and executive staff. * Research and identify new opportunities for Zoosk to further distinguish itself as a leader in the dating space.

* 2+ years experience building ad products on both web and native app platforms. * Experience using Google DFP, MoPub or similar. * 2+ years of direct experience working on consumer-facing products. * Extensive experience creating documentation including business cases, functional specs, PRDs, and user stories. * Experience with both web and mobile analytics platforms, including strong analytical ability to derive actionable insights from large datasets. * Technical/Computer Science degree a plus (preferred but not required). * Experience with agile development methodologies. * Excellent presentation, meeting leader, and interpersonal communication skills. * Strong negotiation, organizational, and facilitation skills. * Detail-oriented self-starter, capable of staying on track and pursuing solutions without supervision. * Ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines, and handle multiple projects simultaneously.
