Who We Are

Yieldmo is one of the world’s fastest-growing digital advertising and attention analytics companies. Agencies and brands use its premium marketplace to create, measure, model, and optimize their campaigns for unmatched scale and performance. Underpinned by AEROS Attention Analytics, advertisers can now truly understand how consumers are interacting with ads before the click, and after the initial view. Yieldmo ultimately delivers better results by harnessing the power of attention data to drive superior audience engagement and targeting.

  • Make an effective case for resources and lead trade-off discussions with product and engineering leaders on where we should be investing and why.

  • Rigorously evaluate opportunities and present a strong, data backed point of view on a recommended path forward

Requirements

  • Track record of successful, high profile product launches from concept to mature offering
  • Strong knowledge of the programmatic ad-tech ecosystem, and direct experience in Video advertising standards and OTT/Connected TV product development
  • Can help break down seemingly large undertakings into smaller steps or MVPs with paths to further investment
  • Excel at the forest AND the trees: Excellent ability to communicate the big picture of a product initiative as well as create granular documentation, think through edge cases and common engineering concerns
  • Naturally possess nuanced, proactive communication and relationship building skills with stakeholders & across teams
  • Comfortable navigating diverse projects and sprints across different engineering teams
  • An excellent sense for product impact (both quantitative and qualitative) and how to prioritize.
  • 5+ years of previous product ownership experience

Perks

  • Generous compensation and benefits
  • Work-life balance with flexible PTO

An Insider's view of Yieldmo

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

As a working mom with a long commute, it's imperative to work at a company that supports flexible working arrangements. After discussing the need with my manager, he expressed full support and confidence in my ability to produce stellar results even from home!

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

Processing and analyzing billions of data points each month requires us to have our finger on the pulse of multiple teams within Yieldmo. We collaborate in real-time via Slack and our office setup makes it easy to swing by someone's desk. We also have recurring cross-functional stands ups as well bi-weekly All Hands company meetings.

Indu

VP, Data Architecture

What makes someone successful on your team?

Success on my team belongs to the curious self-starter. The landscape is constantly changing and creative problem solving is a key skill when you rarely encounter the same issue twice. You have to love digging into the "why" and "how" of everything. Success on this team rises and falls on continuous learning and collaboration.

Dan

SVP, Growth Partnerships

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

I keep an open office hour that anyone in the company can attend, once a month. This is my time made available to the whole company, and is optional, with no agenda. Anyone in the company can ask me anything, dig into any area they're unclear about or have questions about, and bring any suggestions or concerns they have directly to me.

Eric

Chief Product Officer

What projects are you most excited about?

I'm most excited about Yieldmo's newest DEI initiatives! We truly encourage people to bring their full selves to work (whether that's in person or remote!) and this has sparked diverse thought leadership. Yieldmo fosters a creative, collaborative environment in which it's easy to make new friends while also learning something new everyday!
