  • Partner closely with Ad Sales teams to structure custom programmatic solutions and pricing packages that meet advertiser needs while optimizing yield
  • Collaborate with Ad Operations to ensure smooth campaign execution, troubleshoot technical issues, and implement process improvements
  • Manage relationships with SSPs, DSPs, and technology partners to stay current with platform capabilities and industry best practices
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in business, Marketing, Analytics, Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience with Google Ad Manager and Magnite/SSP platforms, including campaign setup, optimization, and troubleshooting
