Business Development, Senior Manager 🔥


Tumblr was founded with the belief that people need a place to say what they want, be who they want, and connect over what they love. We continue to build out Tumblr as a platform for free expression, individuality, and human connection. That’s why we need smart, humble, funny people to keep Tumblr growing. We’re big enough to give you the resources you need and still small enough that you can work on things that matter. Come work with us.

Tumblr is looking for a Business Development Manager/Sr. Manager who is ready to step into a big, multi-faceted role with the opportunity to have a direct impact on Tumblr’s revenue goals. You’ll build and sustain strategic revenue-generating partnerships across programmatic advertising, ad tech, and video monetization, as well as new technologies and opportunities you identify.

What You’ll Do:

  • Identify, negotiate and close deals with new revenue generating and ad tech partners, including SSPs, DSPs, and video distribution/content creation studios.
  • Lead and optimize relationships with existing partners, including leading QBR’s/monthly working sessions, assisting with revenue forecasting, and problem solving with product and engineering teams to resolve issues.
  • Continually balance revenue upside, user experience and engineering lift to maximize overall return on investment.
  • Understand the ins/outs of all revenue streams/partnerships from a technical and data perspective, monitor and report on critical metrics including revenue, impressions, fill rates, eCPMs and users feedback, and provide data driven recommendations to evaluate current and new revenue opportunities.
  • Manage programmatic ad policies in partnership with Brand Partnerships, Legal and Trust & Safety.
  • Be the go-to person on relevant business trends, best practices, and emerging technologies.
  • Work cross-functionally with teams across Tumblr and Automattic.

We Are Looking For:

  • 5-8 years of experience negotiating, building and maintaining revenue generating partnerships, at least four of which have been in social media, digital media, and/or programmatic advertising.
  • A strong understanding of contract terms and an ability to negotiate the business issues while balancing risks/upside.
  • Strong analytical skills, including the ability to examine opportunities and assess trade-offs.
  • Familiarity with and understanding of the current social media ecosystem and Tumblr’s, and its communities’, place in that ecosystem.
  • Self-starter with flexibility to wear multiple hats and the capacity to manage multiple projects simultaneously while balancing the details and the big picture.
  • An effective cross-team collaborator, able to prioritize feedback from a variety of stakeholders.
  • An understanding of b2b marketing and how to utilize it to achieve revenue goals is a plus.
  • Excitement to join a globally distributed team! Familiarity with remote work is welcome.
  • An emerging leader who is humble, hungry, and has excellent judgment!
