## Description

Yelp is looking for a Lead Product Manager to own ad format strategy and execution across our most important consumer surfaces. In this highly visible and impactful role, you'll define how ads look, where they appear, and how they perform. You are responsible for driving improvements to ad design, placement, and layout across Yelp's search results page and within Yelp Assistant, our AI-powered chat interface where ads are an emerging and important part of the experience.
If you're looking to own a high-impact part of the ads system at a billion-dollar company and would enjoy working closely with engineers, data scientists, designers, and peer product teams, then this is the role for you.
This opportunity is fully remote and does not require you to be located in any particular state within the US. We welcome applicants from throughout the US. We'd love to have you apply, even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Yelp, we're looking for great people, not just those who simply check off all the boxes.

What you'll do:

 * Own the product strategy and roadmap for ad formats and placements across Yelp's core surfaces
 * Define and test new ad formats and layouts, including how ad content adapts by business type, context, and user intent
 * Drive advertising integration into evolving Yelp experiences, including Yelp Assistant, our AI-powered chat interface
 * Enhance the UX and design of ad units to improve relevance, performance, and the overall consumer experience
 * Partner with Data Science to design experiments, set success metrics, and interpret results - including tradeoffs between user experience and advertiser performance
 * Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Search Product, and Ads teams to ship changes that move metrics on Yelp's highest-traffic surfaces
 * Work with Ads Auction and Ranking to understand how format decisions interact with targeting and delivery systems
