About the RoleWe are looking for a Revenue Operations professional to serve as the "financial architect" within our Ad Operations organization. As we scale rapidly, we need a builder who can align our Ads and Finance teams, ensuring our Order-to-Cash processes are as advanced as our recommendation algorithms.
In this role, you will own the financial integrity of our ad business—managing credit risk, insurance, and billing—while partnering with Product and Engineering to automate these workflows and working closely with Trust and Safety teams to collaborate on platform safety. You will move us away from manual spreadsheets and toward scalable, AI‑driven solutions that protect our bottom line and ensure user/partner safety.
