About The Position

Join Condé Nast as an Associate Product Manager, helping drive the technical engine behind our global advertising revenue. In this hands-on role, you will support the optimization and scaling of the ad stack powering Vogue, GQ, Wired, and other iconic brands. We are looking for a high-energy, data-driven individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is eager to own the "how" behind our programmatic and video success. Your analytical mindset and curiosity will be critical in leveraging AI-driven tools to uncover new revenue opportunities at scale.

Requirements

• 2-4 years in ad tech, programmatic operations, or technical product management with a deep interest in auction dynamics.
• Proficiency in SQL and data visualization; you prefer doing your own data pulling and analysis to validate hypotheses.
• A passion for understanding the "plumbing" of the internet—from VAST/VPAID tags to Prebid modules and AI optimization algorithms.
• Ability to manage multiple workstreams and respond to ad delivery incidents with urgency and precision.
• A track record of debugging complex delivery issues and a desire to simplify technical workflows.

Responsibilities

• Support the management of our core ad tech stack, including Google Ad Manager, Prebid, and Amazon TAM, ensuring seamless integration with top SSPs.
• Execute daily yield adjustments and monitor auction health to drive premium revenue across our global inventory.
• Perform deep-dive analysis into bid density, latency, and CPM trends to identify performance bottlenecks.
• Support the rollout of high-growth video ad products, focusing on technical delivery and player optimization to maximize fill rates.
• Participate in daily engineering standups and work closely with Ad Ops to ensure 99.9% availability of critical ad paths.
• Monitor and report on key metrics: viewability (70%+ target), revenue per session, and page load impact.
• Assist in the implementation of AI-driven price floors and automated auction mechanics to maximize yield with minimal manual intervention.
• Run A/B tests on header bidding configurations and wrapper logic to improve competitive tension within the stack.
• Work alongside strategic partners (The Trade Desk, DV360, Amazon) to troubleshoot delivery and improve demand quality.
• Balance site speed with revenue by optimizing ad placements and reducing "heavy" creative scripts.

Benefits

• Direct involvement in initiatives affecting Condé Nast’s largest revenue streams.
• Mentorship from senior product leaders in a high-visibility, 1WTC-based team.
• Exposure to the latest innovations in programmatic video and AI-led yield management.
• Clear career progression within a global product organization.
