Senior Monetization Manager (FR)

Hi there!

About us

WeWard is the app that rewards you for walking and turns everyday steps into real-life rewards, connections, & positive impact!

Our mission is to help people move more, feel better, and make movement meaningful .

Today, we are trusted by 25M+ users worldwide , with a fast-growing, international team and offices in Paris and New York .

Our ambition is to build the world’s leading movement-and-rewards platform, scaling globally while using technology, data, and smart incentives to drive lasting behavior change and wellbeing at scale.

About the role

Our team is growing, and in the Monetization & Rewards Pillar, we’re building a dedicated Monetization squad that own WeWard’s programmatic driven revenue engine end-to-end.

We’re looking for a Senior Monetization Manager to own the advertising product and co-own the survey product — two of the core engines powering WeWard’s free-to-use model.

This is a product role too: you’ll own the roadmap, run discovery and experimentation, and ship with your own engineering and design partners. Commercial and partner work is part of the job, but in service of a product that monetizes at scale without compromising the experience.

You will report to Samuel , our Lead Monetization and work closely with an Engagement Manager, two dedicated engineers, and a designer.

Your impact/responsibilities

Own the ads product & roadmap

• Own the advertising product end-to-end — formats, placements, mediation logic, capping, and the in-app ad experience — from problem definition to shipped, measured outcome.

• Build and prioritize the ad product roadmap against impact, balancing revenue, user experience, and effort.

• Translate opportunities into clear specs and requirements, and partner daily with your front-end and back-end engineers to ship and iterate fast.

• Own the health of the ad stack as a product surface.

Run discovery & experimentation

• Make decisions with data, not gut feeling: design and run rigorous A/B tests and yield analysis across formats, placements, and partners.

• Build the experimentation and reporting frameworks that turn every release into a learning, and compound revenue over time.

• Be the internal expert on the ad tech landscape — bring new ideas, formats, and partners, and report internally on market trends and changes.

Co-own the survey product

• Share ownership of the survey channel with the squad’s Engagement Manager.

• Ship product and UX changes that elevate the survey experience while driving incremental revenue.

Drive partner & commercial strategy

• Own partner strategy and negotiations with ad networks, SSPs, mediation platforms, and survey providers — leading QBRs and commercial discussions.

• Lead SDK integrations and mediation setup, and continuously optimize yield (eCPMs, fill rates).

Design monetization that respects users

• WeWard’s monetization sits inside a reward-based product. You’ll treat the revenue-vs-experience tension as a product problem — designing ad and survey experiences that are integrated, motivating, and never abusive.

• Continuously raise revenue per user while protecting retention and engagement.

• Contribute to cross-channel and engagement work when it serves the broader monetization flywheel.

Our commitments

•  SUCCEED — You’ll join a  team of passionate people  who share values of ambition and determination

•  TRUST — We give you real  autonomy , trusting you to reach your goals in your own way

• ⛏️ EXPLORE — You’ll grow in a culture that’s constantly evolving and curious about what’s next

•  PROGRESS — We’ll support you through challenges, learn from mistakes, and move forward together

•   SMILE — And every day, you’ll be part of a  fun and positive environment  where humor is always welcome

Preferred experience

What we’re looking for

You’re the perfect match if…

• Must-haves

  • 5+ years in monetization , with a strong focus on app monetization, product, ad tech, or programmatic advertising — ideally in a mobile-first consumer app.

  • Track record of owning a product roadmap and driving measurable revenue growth through experimentation, yield optimization, and product iteration.

  • Deep knowledge of the mobile ad ecosystem : mediation platforms (AppLovin MAX, LevelPlay, AdMob), SSPs, ad networks, waterfall vs. bidding, eCPM dynamics.

  • Strong product craft : discovery, prioritization, writing clear specs, and shipping cross-functionally with engineers and designers.

  • Fluent with data and analytics tools (Amplitude; SQL a plus) and A/B testing — you decide with evidence.

  • Commercial sense : you can hold your own in partner negotiations and turn relationships into revenue.

  • Full ownership mentality , from strategy to execution.

  • Clear communicator who collaborates naturally across product, engineering, design, and commercial teams.

  • A startup soul , hungry to make an indelible mark on a dynamic, mission-driven team.

  • Experience working with AI tools.

  • Fluent in English and French

  • Based in Paris, able to work on-site 3 days per week (Les Halles).

  Nice-to-haves

  • Experience with offerwalls, or survey monetization.

  • Familiarity with mobile attribution (Adjust, AppsFlyer) and the LTV/ROAS logic behind UA decisions.

  • Experience with A/B testing frameworks (Amplitude Experiment).

  • Genuine interest in behavioral design and gamification — understanding how monetization fits inside an engagement loop.

  • Experience designing or contributing to personalization or recommendation systems.

  If this sounds like you, apply — we’d love to meet you.

What we offer

• ✈️ A global, mission-driven team with teammates in Paris, NY, London, Boston!
