Responsibilities

Own and maintain the comprehensive Ad Product Catalog, ensuring all product specifications, packaging rules, pricing guidelines, and operational constraints are meticulously updated, accurate, and accessible.
Act as the primary, local "help desk" and subject matter expert for NYC-based Sellers and Account Strategists, providing rapid, clear answers to complex, nuanced questions regarding ad product capabilities and custom configuration rules.
Partner closely with the Brand Marketing team to ensure that their client-facing narratives match the exact technical and operational realities housed in the product catalog.
Act as the dedicated project manager ushering individual products and packages through the formal GTM pipeline, coordinating timelines, keeping cross-functional stakeholders on schedule, and preventing rollout bottlenecks.
Translate dense, technical ad product mechanics into clear, digestible operational instructions, leading internal briefings and training sessions for revenue teams detailing what a product is, who it is for, and how to book it.
Regularly analyze internal sales data and product adoption metrics to identify which packages are driving the highest yield and surface trends regarding what is selling well versus what isn't.
Leverage your physical presence in the NYC office to build deep trust with sellers and CROs, proactively capture field feedback, understand seller pain points, and investigate the "why" behind product adoption data to inform future iterations.
