Job description

Programmatic Account Manager at StackAdapt | Grow in AdTech in Wilmington

This Senior Account Manager / Client Success role at StackAdapt sits at the intersection of programmatic advertising operations and strategic client advisory — a high-value combination in the adtech market. StackAdapt is a growth-stage, well-funded adtech leader (#1 DSP on G2) with strong employer branding, making it a credible and resume-enhancing employer.

Compensation context: The CAD $88K–$121K base is competitive for a client-facing programmatic role in Canada, but notably the role also offers bonuses, commissions, and equity — meaning total compensation could meaningfully exceed the base. For Vancouver's adtech market, this is at or slightly above median for 3–5 years of experience.

• Mastery of DSP campaign strategy and RTB optimization — highly transferable across the adtech ecosystem
• Executive-level client communication and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR) — valued in enterprise SaaS and media sales
• Cross-channel programmatic (CTV/OTT, display, native, DOOH) — a rapidly expanding market segment
• Revenue retention and upsell mechanics — core skills for any customer success or account management career path

Green flags: Remote-first culture, day-one health benefits, strong learning/certification support, recognized as a Great Place to Work. The 20% travel requirement signals meaningful client engagement without being excessive.

Watch for: The role blends account management with hands-on campaign trafficking — ensure you're comfortable being both strategic advisor and operational executor, as scope can be demanding at growth-stage adtech companies.

StackAdapt is the leading technology company that empowers marketers to reach, engage, and convert audiences with precision. With 465 billion automated optimizations per second, the AI-powered StackAdapt Marketing Platform seamlessly connects brand and performance marketing to drive measurable results across the entire customer journey. The most forward-thinking marketers choose StackAdapt to orchestrate high-impact campaigns across programmatic advertising and marketing channels.

You'll work closely with your Account Executives, Client Service support teams, and cross-functional teams to maximize the campaign ROI of our customers. Additionally, this role will allow you to use your RTB/Programmatic media buying experience to optimize campaigns and come up with unique solutions that ensure our clients are satisfied with their campaign performance.

• Participate in the identification of upselling opportunities and improve services such as the development of tools, procedures, and reports aimed to increase efficiency
• Optimize campaigns and recommend new opportunities by analyzing campaign performance on a regular basis
• In-person and virtual meetings, presentations, Quarterly Business Reviews, and training/education
