Job Description
Yahoo is a global media and tech company that reaches hundreds of millions of people around the world, bringing them closer to what they love-from finance and sports, to shopping, gaming and news-with the trusted products, content and tech that fuel their day. For partners, we provide a full-stack platform for businesses to amplify growth and drive more meaningful connections across advertising, search and media.
About Yahoo Commerce
The Yahoo Commerce team's mission is to help our audience of 600M monthly active users discover and make informed decisions about products and services so they can save time and money.

About You
