This role will report directly to the Associate Director, Programmatic, and partner closely with the programmatic team to ensure campaigns are built accurately, launched on time, monitored regularly, and paced in alignment with client goals. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working hands-on in DSP platforms, with the ability to manage recurring responsibilities while supporting ad hoc projects across a range of client needs.

Conduct ongoing QA across programmatic campaigns to ensure accurate setup, targeting, budgets, bids, frequency controls, tracking, brand safety settings, and creative implementation. This requires very strong attention to detail!
Assist with audience, inventory and deal management, including PG/PMP/deal ID setup, delivery monitoring, naming conventions, and coordination with DSP and media partners to resolve setup, inventory, and reporting issues.
Upload and assign creatives in-platform and perform creative QA to ensure assets are implemented correctly and aligned with approved specifications
Support campaign builds and ongoing optimizations across programmatic platforms, including updates to bids, budgets, targeting, and delivery settings as directed
Pull platform data and develop screenshot decks and other support materials for internal teams and client needs

Keep informed of DSP platform changes, programmatic media trends, privacy and measurement developments, and industry best practices
Support larger agency and department initiatives as needed, including process improvements, documentation, and team coordination
Requirements:
1-2 years of relevant programmatic media experience required, including direct hands-on-keyboard experience managing campaigns in DSP platforms
In-platform experience with major DSPs such as The Trade Desk, Google Display & Video 360 (DV360), and/or Amazon DSP; experience with multiple DSPs is strongly preferred
