In keeping with our mission to bring community, belonging, and empowerment to everyone in the world, Reddit facilitates a delightful and relevant advertising experience that’s best-in-class for our users and advertisers. Ads are the fuel that power Reddit’s mission, and the year ahead is a busy one!

Our mission on the Revenue Lifecycle team is to enable a high quality and trustworthy financial partnership between advertisers and Reddit. We own Ads Billing and Payments - the foundation of our Ads business.

We partner across product, design, legal, finance, privacy, and operations to ensure advertisers having a seamless financial experience on our platform. Some example projects that the team is working on:

  • Internationalization efforts - Build support for new payment methods and currencies. Add features to support customers’ tax requirements in their countries.
  • Codify sales contracts into funding sources that put system constraints on ad delivery, based on budgetary discretion of the customer.
  • Re-build our customer facing UI for our managed advertisers - the segment of our customer base that has reddit sales’ support. Create features expected for b2b relationships - detailed receipts and invoices, visibility into lines of credit and available funds.
  • Design roles-based permissions to support business-management of their advertiser accounts.
  • End-to-end automation of lines of credit - advertisers apply for credit on the ads platform, the credit check policy is executed automatically, then converted into ads credit that enables ad delivery in our platform.
