Program Manager

FreeWheel’s Programmatic Operations Team powers FreeWheel’s programmatic marketplace by seamlessly connecting demand and supply across the FreeWheel Exchange. We drive measurable advertiser outcomes and meaningful publisher revenue by optimizing marketplace performance through best-in-class operations, systems, and data. Our focus is on delivering scalable, efficient, and transparent programmatic solutions that enable growth and innovation. FreeWheel is seeking a Program Manager to join our Programmatic Operations team, serving as a strategic partner and operational leader who drives cross-functional operational excellence across our programmatic business. This role sits at the intersection of supply and demand — requiring someone who can translate the complex programmatic challenges of buy- and sell-side customers into scalable operational solutions while managing critical programs that directly impact marketplace efficiency, revenue growth and client satisfaction. You will be the connective tissue between our Marketplace Operations, Programmatic Activation, and Supply Curation & Enablement teams, establishing operational frameworks that and cross-functional processes that ensure seamless execution across the full programmatic lifecycle—from supply packaging and deal creation through activation, optimization, and performance insights. This role requires a strategic operator who can balance hands-on execution with systems-level thinking—someone equally comfortable with defining operating tactics that are aligned to company goals, leading complex change programs, facilitating cross-functional decision-making forums, and identifying tactical process & policy improvement opportunities. You will work closely with Commercial teams, Revenue Operations, Product Management, Finance and Legal to ensure programmatic operations run smoothly, issues are resolved quickly, and the organization continuously improves its ability to deliver marketplace efficiency, seamless activation, and actionable insights to publishers and advertisers.
