Job Summary Reporting to the VP of Campaign Yield Optimization, the Director of Yield Management is a player-coach role, owning portfolio-level yield strategy across our Direct and Programmatic revenue channels and across both product lines - the Waiting Room Network (DOOH) and Precision (mobile app). You'll design the frameworks governing floor prices, inventory packaging, deal structures, and auction settings, bridging both ecosystems into a coordinated, data-driven operation that maximizes monetization while protecting client performance. You'll manage a direct report and partner closely with Adops, Sales, Data and Executive teams to keep the org aligned on yield health.
What You'll Do - Own portfolio-level yield strategy - floor policies, rate card guidance, discount bands, alerting, and prioritization rules - across both Precision (mobile) and DOOH, and across Direct and Programmatic channels
- Design inventory and PMP packaging frameworks (audience, venue, daypart, exclusivity) and define end-to-end programmatic deal operations from setup through optimization
- Run structured experiments (A/B, multivariate) on pricing, floors, and priority rules; build forecasting models quantifying revenue and margin impact
- Partner with Data to build unified dashboards across channels; improve campaign health standards, and serve as the escalation point for systemic issues
- Lead strategic SSP partner management including QBRs, roadmap discussions, and monetization opportunities; collaborate with Ad Tech on ad server and OMS configurations
- Manage and develop a direct report, setting priorities and reviewing analysis to ensure the team's output holds up under executive scrutiny
- Collaborate with Ad Operations, Sales, Pricing, Engineering, Product and Data teams
What We Need - 7+ years in yield management, publisher ad ops, or programmatic monetization with direct revenue optimization ownership
- Hands-on Direct deal and SSP setup experience with deep knowledge of programmatic ecosystems (RTB, PMP, deal IDs) and publisher ad tech (ad servers, SSPs, OMS)
- Proven portfolio-level yield experience-floors, rate cards, packaging, prioritization-not just campaign optimization
- Strong analytical skills; proficient in Excel/Sheets and BI tools; SQL required; excellent executive communication and presentation abilities
- 3+ years managing an analyst or small team, with a track record of developing direct reports' analytical and communication skills
Desired Qualifications - DOOH publishing experience with physical screen network pacing, measurement, and packaging considerations
- Mobile App monetization experience - troubleshooting technical integrations and managing GAM
- Healthcare or pharma advertising background with compliance and regulatory awareness
- Experience with programmatic DOOH platforms and demand path optimization across multiple SSPs
- Forecasting/revenue planning model experience tied to inventory, pricing, and sales targets
What You'll Need to Succeed - Willingness to learn and dig in on data and programmatic setup that is unique to DOOH and PatientPoint
- A systems mindset that balances short-term yield with long-term network and client health
- Ability to simplify complexity-turning dense auction mechanics into clear, business-ready decisions
- Technical fluency with engineers and analysts paired with strong storytelling for commercial and executive audiences
- A high degree of initiative - comfortable identifying problems and proposing solutions without being told, in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift
