📋 Description

• Running the full Ad Ops engine - overseeing activation, pacing, performance, QA, inventory strategy, troubleshooting, and the day-to-day mechanics that keep campaigns healthy. • Connecting supply, demand, and strategy - working across SSPs, DSPs, publishers, and brand teams to align expectations, reduce friction, and make sure our curation and decisioning deliver the right outcomes. • Building processes that scale - creating workflows, playbooks, and operational systems that help the team move faster, reduce errors, and drive consistent results. • Driving performance and partner growth - helping clients get more value from their spend, optimizing towards quality supply paths, and identifying opportunities to expand usage of our platform. • Working cross-functionally with product, data, and engineering to improve tools, automate pain points, and turn feedback into smarter features. • Operationalize BRIDGE's curation methodology — build and run the workflows, qualification process, and quality checks used to assemble curated supply and audience packages, in partnership with Product on the underlying criteria. • Manage the ongoing curation pipeline — reviewing, qualifying, and refreshing supply and data partners against curation standards on a recurring cadence. • Own the agency-facing operational relationship for curation: fielding requests, coordinating onboarding of curated deals/segments, resolving escalations. • Report on curation performance (adoption, lift, partner quality) to leadership and the agency channel. • Monitor competitive curation offerings and flag operational implications for BRIDGE's supply strategy. • Lead end-to-end programmatic campaign operations across DSPs (TTD, DV360, Amazon, and others), SSPs, and private marketplace deals. • Own supply path optimization strategy — evaluating, trimming, and curating supply partners with a preference for transparent, quality-verified paths. • Direct BRIDGE's deal ID deployment across eligible client campaigns, setting activation criteria and measuring lift. • Drive performance against client KPIs (ROAS, CPA, viewability, brand safety, completion rate) across display, video, and CTV. • Partner with BRIDGE's data and identity teams to translate first-party people-based audiences into programmatic activation strategies. • Oversee cookieless audience onboarding workflows — including email-hashed, device graph, and identity-resolved segments. • Establish and maintain brand safety, IVT filtering, and MFA exclusion standards across all active campaigns. • Manage, mentor, and grow a team of programmatic traders, campaign managers, and ad operations specialists. • Define trafficking, QA, and reporting standards; build scalable playbooks for campaign launch and optimization. • Serve as the internal subject matter expert on emerging ad tech including AI-driven curation, SPO, and attention measurement. • Present programmatic strategy and results to senior leadership and key client stakeholders. • Manage strategic relationships with supply, data, and technology partners. • Evaluate new ad tech vendors — including AI decisioning layers, curation platforms, and measurement solutions — and lead pilot programs. • Negotiate deal terms, pricing, and service levels with SSPs, data providers, and DSP account teams.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years in programmatic advertising, data partnerships, ad operations, or media operations buying • 5+ years in a people management or team lead capacity • Hands-on experience with one or more major DSPs (TTD, DV360, Xandr/Microsoft) • Working knowledge of SSPs, deal IDs, PMPs, and header bidding • Deep familiarity with supply path optimization and inventory quality practices • Experience activating cookieless or people-based audience strategies • Fluency with campaign reporting, attribution, and measurement tools • Strong analytical skills; able to translate data into actionable strategy • Direct experience with AI-powered curation platforms • Background in data-driven or identity-resolved audience activation • Experience managing programmatic operations at a data company, agency trading desk, or managed-service DSP • Familiarity with CTV/OTT buying • Working knowledge of Prebid.js or other header bidding infrastructure.
