at Fandom

🏢 About Fandom

Fandom is the world's largest fan platform, powering immersive experiences for entertainment and gaming enthusiasts. With a massive global audience and a unique position at the intersection of fandom, advertising, and CRM, working here means shaping how fans engage with their favorite brands through personalized, lifecycle-driven monetization.

About This Role

As Sr Product Manager 2 for Monetization & CRM, you will own the product roadmap for lifecycle monetization and CRM-enabled advertising, building scalable products that drive revenue through sponsored campaigns and audience activation. Your work directly impacts how Fandom leverages its passionate user base to deliver personalized ad experiences, making this role critical to the company's growth.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up with engineering to review sprint progress on a new audience segmentation tool, followed by a meeting with Sales to discuss a sponsor's campaign requirements. After lunch, you'd analyze A/B test results from a lifecycle email campaign, then collaborate with Data Science to refine a personalization algorithm. The afternoon might involve drafting a product spec for a CRM integration with an ad server, ending with a review of quarterly OKRs with your manager.
