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 95 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? 🎁

  • 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.
