Drive execution of performance products across premium and remnant CTV inventory, balancing scale, pricing, and outcome goals. Define and support pricing and packaging strategies (CPA, CPI, blended CPA, hybrid CPM/CPA) in partnership with Revenue and Sales leadership. Act as the single-threaded product owner, aligning Product, Engineering, Data Science, Privacy, Partnerships, and Go-To-Market teams. Influence executive stakeholders with clear product narratives, business cases, and trade-off recommendations.
