  • Standardize programmatic strategy frameworks, audience approaches, and optimization methodologies
  • Advise on emerging technologies, including automation tools, identity resolution, and privacy-driven targeting solutions
  • Serve as a bridge between platform partners and internal teams to evaluate new capabilities and integrations
  • Collaborate with Data teams on tagging, tracking, and performance measurement infrastructure
  • Work with Media Strategy and Brand Leadership to identify workflow optimizations and support scalable test-and-learn processes
  • Partner with IT to ensure media tools and data systems align with agency-wide infrastructure and compliance standards

Requirements

  • Seven–10+ years of experience in digital media, including hands-on programmatic experience and media operations leadership
  • Proven track record building or managing media processes across trafficking, QA, tagging, and reporting
  • Deep fluency with DSPs (The Trade Desk, DV360), ad servers (CM360), and verification/measurement tools (IAS, MOAT)
  • Strong project management and process design skills with the ability to translate operational complexity into clear, repeatable systems
  • Experience mentoring and developing media talent and designing training programs that scale
