This opportunity is within our Fandango group – a collection of trusted entertainment brands that guide over 50 million movie and TV fans throughout their viewing journey.

Our team thrives on shaping how people discover and experience entertainment, one screen at a time.

In this role, you’ll work closely with engineering, ad sales, analytics, and product teams to deliver platform capabilities that improve ad targeting, enable next-generation ad formats, and support features that drive viewer engagement. Your work will directly influence AVOD monetization, targeting precision, and innovative ad experiences at scale. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Define and prioritize backend requirements that support AVOD monetization strategies and revenue growth. 
• Collaborate with product and frontend teams to ensure backend systems can support engagement initiatives that increase ad opportunities. 
• Partner with engineering to enhance server-side ad insertion (SSAI) and enable interactive and next-generation ad formats. 
• Analyze AVOD monetization performance (CPM, fill rate, ad completion, interaction rates) and use data insights to inform features and optimizations. 
• Work with analytics teams to ensure systems capture key metrics and provide accurate reporting for business stakeholders. 
• Support A/B testing of ad formats, placements, and related engagement features to maximize yield while maintaining a quality user experience. 
• Ensure backend features and data handling processes comply with privacy and legal regulations, including COPPA, CCPA, VPPA, and California AADC. 
• Stay informed on industry trends, ad tech innovations, privacy/security best practices, and evolving interactive ad standards. 

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field—or equivalent practical experience. 
• 3+ years of product management experience, ideally with backend, API, or platform systems in AVOD or streaming video. 
• Understanding of ad-supported streaming workflows, including SSAI, targeting services, and interactive ad enablement. 
• Proven ability to lead technical products from concept through launch and iteration. 
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret ad performance metrics and recommend optimizations. 
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to align business, engineering, and product stakeholders. 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working with AVOD products across multiple device platforms (Roku, living room devices, mobile apps, web). 
• Knowledge of ad delivery services, yield optimization techniques, and interactive ad standards. 
• Skilled in Agile product development using tools like JIRA, Confluence, and data dashboards (Looker, Adobe). 
• Self-starter with a high level of ownership, comfortable managing complex initiatives with many moving parts. 
• Interest in exploring AI/ML for personalization, targeting, and engagement optimization.
