## Job description

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 70 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.

Product Lead - Adtech €120K – €160K • Offers Equity

Freecash is the product. Almedia is the engagement engine behind it: the smartest way for mobile game studios to turn high-potential users into high-value ones. We're the leader in our category, profitable, and expanding fast. You will work at the intersection of consumer product, mobile adtech and publisher platforms. Your responsibility will be to improve how users discover and engage with rewards, how publishers integrate and monetize, and how value is measured and distributed across users, publishers, advertisers and Almedia.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who can turn an ambitious product thesis into a clear strategy, a rigorous experimentation programme and a scalable platform.

## What you'll own

- Consumer product and engagement. Own the full user journey, from discovery and activation through onboarding, progression, and repeat reward engagement, by designing clear, motivating, product-native reward experiences and turning user behavior into measurable value for publishers and the platform.
- Publisher platform. Shape the Link SDK and its integration experience for mobile publishers, improving developer experience, implementation quality, configurability and observability, while working with engineering on identity, events, attribution, reward delivery and fraud prevention to give publishers flexible tools without fragmenting the product into bespoke integrations.
- Monetization and marketplace economics. Develop new rewarded monetization products for publishers, defining how rewards, publisher value and Almedia's economics fit together, by partnering with data science on pricing, segmentation, ranking and optimization to balance user experience, advertiser performance, publisher revenue and contribution margin.
- Experimentation and measurement. Own a rigorous experimentation portfolio across consumer experiences, integrations and monetization, using holdouts and causal measurement to isolate incremental value from correlation, by defining clear primary metrics, guardrails and maturity windows, and making explicit decisions to scale, change or stop each initiative.
- Publisher and commercial leadership. Work directly with major mobile publishers, clearly explaining product capabilities, economics and measurement, by leading lighthouse launches, turning publisher feedback into scalable product decisions, and building reporting that publishers can understand and trust.

## What you'll bring

- Senior product experience in mobile adtech, publisher monetization, rewarded advertising, mobile gaming monetization or a closely related marketplace.
- Experience owning a consumer product involving rewards, onboarding, retention, progression or monetization.
- Experience shipping an SDK, API, developer platform or technically complex partner integration.
- Direct ownership of revenue, pricing, yield, gross margin, advertiser performance or another meaningful economic outcome.
- Strong understanding of marketplace economics and how incentives affect users, publishers and advertisers.
- Deep practical experience with experimentation, holdouts, selection bias and causal measurement.
- Comfort working with data science on ranking, pricing or optimization systems.
- Experience working directly with enterprise customers or publishers.

What puts you ahead

- You've been a founder. You know what it means to own an outcome with no one to hand it off to.
- You've scaled through hyper-growth. 50 to 200+ people, building the plane mid-flight: familiar territory.
- Mobile gaming or advertising background. You know the players, the incentives, the dynamics.

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.
