We are looking for aGroup Product Manager – Webto own and modernize the product stack that powers monetization across the open web. This is a builder's mandate with two halves:bring our web monetization platform to genuine parity with the best in the world, and thenpush past it— shipping category-defining innovation that makes InMobi materially more valuable to advertisers, publishers, and the consumers on the other side of every impression.

This role sits at the intersection ofprogrammatic advertising, web platform engineering, AI Innovation in the space. You will work on the web monetization roadmap end to end: building, championing or influencing the auction and bidding architecture, the publisher integration surface, demand quality and curation, yield optimization, and the next generation of AI-native monetization products.

You will be measured on hard outcomes — publisher revenue and retention, advertiser performance and trust, and consumer experience — and you'll be given the freedom to make big bets to move them.

This is a senior, high-visibility role. You will set/drive strategy, but you are expected to be deeply hands-on: in the data, in the oRTB payloads, in the prototype, and in the room with engineering, GTM, partnerships, and leadership.

What You'll Own

• Define and drive the end-to-end product strategy and multi-quarter roadmap for InMobi'sweb monetization stack.
• Bring the stack tobest-in-class parityon the fundamentals — auction efficiency, fill, transparency, addressability and integration ease — by closing concrete, prioritized gaps against the market.
• Leadcategory-defining innovationon top of that foundation: AI-native yield, new monetization surfaces, and products that create durable advantage for InMobi's publishers and advertisers.
• Own thepublisher integration surface— web SDK, LLM Surfaces and header-bidding integration, server-side connections, and the developer experience that makes InMobi easy to adopt and hard to leave.
• Maximizepublisher yieldby scaling auction-based monetization and deal-based demand (PMP, Programmatic Guaranteed, curated packages), and by improving the efficiency of every supply path.
• Partner withDSPs, SSPs, exchanges, and curation partnersto grow demand, improve auction dynamics, and raise effective CPMs and fill.
• Drivedemand quality, transparency, and trust— supply-path optimization, ads.txt / sellers.json / SupplyChain (schain) hygiene, MFA and invalid-traffic mitigation, brand safety, and viewability/measurement integration.
• Stand updata-driven experimentation— A/B and holdout frameworks, clean measurement, and a fast loop from hypothesis to shipped change to validated impact.
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder withengineeringto build scalable platform capabilities, and translate complex technical tradeoffs into clear decisions for senior leadership.

What We're Looking For

Must Have

• A strong, current understanding of theprogrammatic advertising ecosystem, with specific depth inweb/open-web monetizationand publisher revenue.
• Deep working knowledge ofDSPs, SSPs, ad exchanges, and ad servers, and how they interact across the open web.
• Hands-on familiarity with theweb monetization stack: header bidding andPrebid(client- and server-side), wrapper solutions, ad-server integration, and tag/SDK-based publisher integration.
• Real fluency inOpenRTB, including PMP, Programmatic Guaranteed (PG), curated deals, and auction-package mechanics — comfortable reading and reasoning about bid request/response payloads at the field level.
• Working knowledge ofsupply-path optimizationand supply-chain transparency: ads.txt, sellers.json, SupplyChain (schain), and the economics of path consolidation.
• Practical understanding of theidentity and privacy landscape— Privacy Sandbox (Topics, Protected Audience), authenticated identity solutions (e.g., UID2, RampID), and addressability strategy in a deprecating-signal world.
• Strong grasp ofmeasurement, analytics, and quality systems— viewability, IVT/MFA mitigation, brand safety, and attribution/measurement partners.
• Excellent product judgment and the ability to operate from first principles in a complex, fast-moving technical domain.

• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools such asClaude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or similar — able to build lightweight tools, prototypes, dashboards, and automations without waiting on an engineering queue.
• Excited about using AI to compress the distance from idea to working solution, and to materially raise both personal productivity and product outcomes.
