Duration: 6 month contract
As a Digital Ad Operations Specialist, you will be essential to scaling customer acquisition efforts by ensuring the flawless and efficient launch of high-impact paid campaigns. This role involves owning the execution and optimization of digital media campaigns in ad servers and paid media platforms. This is not a basic campaign trafficking role; we are looking for a candidate who can own campaign execution, troubleshoot technical issues, analyze performance, and make strategic optimization recommendations tied to business KPIs.
- Build and launch campaigns, ad sets, and individual ads across key channels, and create/traffic tags across platforms.
- Partner with the campaign team to plan for the upcoming quarter and review current campaign performance.
- Monitor campaigns closely, especially during the first 48 hours, and execute ongoing optimizations throughout the campaign lifecycle.
- Lead the technical QA process for all ad creative—including static, rich media, video, and third-party tags—to ensure they meet standards.
- Investigate and reconcile data discrepancies greater than 10% between ad servers, DSPs, and publisher reporting systems.
- Oversee audience targeting integration and manage audience match rates across platforms.
- Provide weekly optimization and performance reporting, utilizing advanced Excel skills for data analysis.
- Identify additional targeting opportunities and performance improvements, providing recommendations rather than simply executing requests.
Experience: 3–6 years of dedicated experience in Ad Operations, Digital Media Operations, or Ad Technology roles with a background in B2B marketing/advertising and full-funnel digital campaigns.
Technical Skills:
- Expert-level proficiency and hands-on experience with Google Campaign Manager 360 (CM360).
- Strong hands-on experience with Display & Video 360 (DV360) and LinkedIn Ads.
- Deep expertise in other DSPs like The Trade Desk (TTD) and major social platforms including Meta and Reddit.
- Advanced Excel skills for data analysis, reporting, and troubleshooting.
- Comfort with HTML, JavaScript, rich media formats, VAST/VPAID for video, and current privacy regulations.
- Experience with LiveRamp, Bombora, Demandbase, or other ABM or audience-focused vendors.
- Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues under pressure.
- A self-motivated, curious, and proactive problem-solver with strong critical thinking skills.
- Strong interpersonal skills for managing diverse stakeholder groups and fostering internal and external relationships.
