This role can be based in New York City (ideally) or Mountain View/Sunnyvale. At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.
The LinkedIn Monetization Strategy team is seeking a Senior Manager, Monetization Strategy to design and scale monetization programs, deals, and offers for our B2B agency ecosystem—including independent and niche agencies—as well as direct sales customers within Marketing Solutions.
This role focuses on shaping how LinkedIn uses commercial programs and offers to drive customer acquisition, product adoption, and sustained revenue growth. You will partner closely with Ads Sales, Agency teams, Product, Marketing, Data Science, Finance, Legal, and Engineering to develop strategies that are analytically sound, operationally scalable, and effective across a complex, matrixed organization.
You will operate at the intersection of advertising expertise, data‑driven decision making, and cross‑functional execution, translating strategy into programs that sellers and agencies can actually use.
LinkedIn embraces diversity, inclusion and belonging as a core tenet of our culture across the company globally. Diversity in all forms helps us closer towards realizing LinkedIn’s vision of creating economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce.
