Partnerships Manager- Paytm Ads

About the Role We are looking for a commercially driven Partnerships Manager to build and scale new monetization channels through strategic partnerships. The role will be responsible for identifying, negotiating, launching, and growing partnerships across third-party publishers, affiliate partners, advertising platforms, research companies, and other ecosystem partners. This is a hands-on role spanning the entire partnership lifecycle — from identifying the right partners and negotiating commercials to contracting, product/tech integration, launch, and ongoing revenue growth. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of digital monetization and have previously created or scaled revenue channels through partnerships, rather than simply managing existing partner relationships. What You Will Do 1. Build the 3P Publisher Business Identify and build relationships with third-party publishers/platforms with monetizable inventory. Develop the partnership proposition, commercial model, and go-to-market approach for bringing publishers onto the platform. Evaluate publisher opportunities based on inventory quality, scale, monetization potential, economics, and strategic fit. Own the partner lifecycle from initial outreach and commercial discussions through integration, launch, and scale. Work closely with Product, Engineering, Ad Operations, Data, and other teams to onboard and scale publisher partners. 2. Build New Monetization Partnerships Identify and develop partnersh
