Job Description: Shops Ads

Facebook and IG are building the next generation of advertising products, transforming the ads user experience and delivering unique value for advertisers. You may have heard of “Shops”, Meta hosted versions of e-commerce websites. The impact of this undertaking has been compared to the shift we made from desktop-only to mobile a decade ago. Shops Ads is at the absolute centre of Meta’s Commerce Strategy.

We have roles for many different DS archetypes and levels, including technical roles (heavy ML, statistics), strategic roles, ecosystems roles (big picture), and product analytics roles (building products that delight users)

What are Shops Ads?

Shops Ads is a major Commerce effort throughout the company. Shops Ads allow advertisers to optimise for purchases happening within the Facebook and Instagram apps. This allows us to create a truly differentiated and relevant buyer experience as we can personalise the end to end buyer journey, from ad impression to the post-purchase experience.

What are Shops?

Shops are a mobile-first shopping experience where businesses can seamlessly create a customizable shop for their customers across the family of apps.

This will allow business owners to market their products directly to customers, and customers will be able to browse and buy products all from within our apps rather than being redirected to a website as happens when you click on ‘Buy Now’ today in Instagram.
