WhatsApp drives the adoption of Meta monetization products in parts of the world where we have historically had smaller revenue opportunities. In order to grow the Meta ecosystem, we are bringing online both first time online advertisers from the global south as well as seasoned marketeers looking to grow WhatsApp as their next big channel. The Click to WhatsApp team, based in London, is at the forefront of WhatsApp’s monetization roadmap. We are looking for a Research Manager to support a team of researchers working across technical areas including value discovery from the WA SMB app intent to create ads, signals tracking, ROI improvement and AI enabled personalization of campaigns and more.
