Lead Monetization Manager

This isn't your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We're aiming to become Germany's second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe's #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000).

We are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 80 million users for engaging with our advertisers' products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.

Ads are already live in the Freecash app via AppLovin MAX; now we want a hands-on lead to aggressively grow ad revenue across interstitial, rewarded, and custom ad units while maintaining a sharp focus on user experience. This is a senior, high-impact individual-contributor role.

• Improve ad placements, formats, dynamic triggers, and audience segmentation within the Freecash app to maximize revenue potential.
• Innovate, develop, and test high-performing custom ad formats built specifically for our audience and app architecture.
• Work directly with ad exchanges, demand partners, and networks to drive custom deals, direct integrations, and premium monetization opportunities.
• Collaborate closely with the bidding team and optimize MAX mediation, unified bidding, waterfall setups, and floor price strategies.
• Run frequent, data-driven tests to continuously lift CPMs, ARPU, and overall ad revenue.
• Work closely with product leadership and Marco to balance top-line revenue gains against retention and long-term user experience trade-offs.

• Track record of driving in-app ad monetization in gaming, rewarded apps, or high-volume consumer apps.
• Hands-on experience with rewarded ads, interstitials, programmatic mediation platforms (e.g., AppLovin MAX), bidding environments, and working directly with ad exchanges.
• Experience working alongside bidding/user acquisition teams to align supply-side optimization with demand-side unit economics.
• Ability to conceptualize and execute bespoke or hybrid ad formats in partnership with product and engineering teams.
• Demonstrated success turning experimental concepts and commercial partnerships into measurable, scalable revenue growth.
• Experience extending monetization strategies to new products or emerging platforms (e.g., Link).

• We offer all Berlin-based employees equity in Almedia to truly be a part of our success.
• Grow alongside a startup that has been profitable from day one.
• Work from a fully-stocked modern office built for collaboration, accessible from all around Berlin.
• Transport subsidy, breakfasts and lunches, language learning, Urban Sports Club, and more.
