Director of Product, Ad Experience and Monetization – Samsung TV Plus

About the Team Samsung Ads, a division of Samsung Electronics America, powers innovative and data-driven advertising experiences spanning hundreds of millions of smart devices across TV, mobile, desktop, and beyond. Our deep understanding of TV viewership and unmatched position at the intersection of hardware, software and advertising delivers quantifiable results for brands on a massive scale. With the largest single source of TV data in the market, reaching 3 in 4 U.S. households, Samsung Ads unlocks opportunities to engage consumers during connected moments that matter.

Role Overview:

Samsung TV Plus is one of the largest FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) platforms globally, reaching millions of viewers across Samsung devices. The Sr. Director of Product, Ad Experience and Monetization for Samsung TV Plus will own the end-to-end product strategy and execution for advertising in Samsung TV Plus including inventory, formats, and demand integrations.

This role is accountable for revenue growth, advertiser value, and viewer experience, and will serve as the single product owner for how ads are designed, delivered, optimized, and scaled within Samsung TV Plus. A critical dimension of this role is tight partnership with the Samsung TV Plus Content team to ensure monetization strategy is deeply aligned with the content roadmap, programming mix, and viewership growth strategy.

This is a senior product leadership role with direct ownership of monetization outcomes, not just feature delivery.
