As the Senior Engineering Manager, Mobile Monetization, you will mentor, inspire, and grow the team while ensuring that we deliver high-quality, performant, and scalable solutions that meet our users' needs and business goals. You will have ownership over the development process, team performance, and be a key contributor to strategic decisions.

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, working from our SF office three days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. In this role, you will report to the VP of Engineering, Fan Experiences.

What You'll Do

• Run the day-to-day operations of the engineering team and manage scrum ceremonies such as grooming, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
• Lead and mentor a cross-platform team of iOS and Android engineers to ensure the adoption of best practices, architectural standards, and scalability, fostering a collaborative and high-performance work environment.
• Own and drive the technical roadmap for mobile monetization — including subscriptions, StoreKit 2, Google Play Billing, promotional offers, winback, free trials, and plan management — aligning with business objectives and revenue goals.
• Define, track, and improve key monetization metrics including conversion rate, free trial activation, cancel rescue effectiveness, and churn — translating data into actionable roadmap decisions.
• Partner with product, data science, and growth teams to design, ship, and measure A/B tests and pricing experiments at consumer scale, using experimentation to continuously optimize the monetization funnel.
• Manage partner platform dependencies — including Apple and Google billing API changes, entitlement system updates, and platform policy changes — ensuring the team can respond rapidly without disrupting revenue flows.
• Ensure revenue-critical system health through robust monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices; lead root cause analyses for monetization-impacting outages and drive systemic prevention.
• Work closely with stakeholders and cross-functional teams (Product, Finance, Legal, Marketing) to understand requirements, gather feedback, and communicate project progress and status updates.
• Navigate compliance and regulatory requirements — including global privacy regulations, age assurance laws, regional pricing obligations, and app store policy changes — ensuring the monetization platform remains compliant without compromising delivery velocity.
• Manage project timelines, resource allocation, and budgeting to ensure timely and successful delivery of projects.
• Monitor team performance and productivity, identifying areas for improvement and implementing strategies to optimize efficiency.
• Conduct regular one-to-one meetings with team members to provide feedback, support their career development, and manage performance.
