Jobbeschreibung

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.

At Almedia, you’ll:

• Own way more, way earlier — you’ll be trusted with responsibility fast.
• Push harder, get further — this isn’t a 9–5. We highly reward intensity.
• Join a rare environment — you will work with ambitious high-speed, high-ownership people.
• Fully present — we’re 5 days a week in the office to build the energising momentum we need.

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.

What You’ll Own

• In-App Optimization & Placement: Improve ad placements, formats, dynamic triggers, and audience segmentation within the Freecash app to maximize revenue potential.
• Custom Ad Formats: Innovate, develop, and test high-performing custom ad formats built specifically for our audience and app architecture.
• Direct Exchange & Network Partnerships: Work directly with ad exchanges, demand partners, and networks to drive custom deals, direct integrations, and premium monetization opportunities.
• Bidding & Mediation Strategy: Collaborate closely with the bidding team and optimize MAX mediation, unified bidding, waterfall setups, and floor price strategies.
• Experimentation & Execution: Run frequent, data‑driven tests to continuously lift CPMs, ARPU, and overall ad revenue.
• Product & UX Balance: Work closely with product leadership and Marco to balance top‑line revenue gains against retention and long‑term user experience trade‑offs.

What You’ll Bring

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

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Own Everything: You build the plan, pull the levers, and execute seamlessly without relying on a team beneath you.
• Raise the Bar: You question the data, find hidden margin opportunities others miss, and demand excellence.
• Move Fast: You prioritize rapid testing, learning, and shipping over waiting for a perfect playbook.

Why Almedia?

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

We believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth. Almedia is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity, and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.
