About the Role
We are looking for an Ads Manager who sits at the intersection of ad technology, brand partnerships, and product thinking.

You will be the primary owner of Bachatt's publisher-side ad operations, acting as the bridge between our brand partners, our ad infrastructure, and our product and engineering teams.
