Descripción del empleo

• We’re growing exponentially and we are looking for another next member to join our small but powerful team. This role works directly with the Traffic Lead and reports directly to the Traffic Manager.
• Our business operates in live, high-stakes environments where performance, revenue, and ad operations must be monitored and managed in real time - similar to a trading desk.
• Apply if you’re excited to learn about affiliate marketing, performance marketing, and how a fast-moving media buying team works.
• In the first 30 days, you’ll focus on shadowing our team, learning the business and tool stack, and diving deep into the data, analytics, and sharing daily performance metrics.

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Monitor live operations in our media buying department. You will oversee live systems, triage issues quickly, and resolve issues that come up in-real time through quantitative and qualitative analysis. You will proactively identify and communicate risks early and bring solutions.
• Manage daily cap quotas and allocations. You will strategically distribute traffic volume across media buying teams based on orders, performance, and capacity. You will make sure quotas and caps are consistently filled on a daily basis without chaos.
• Monitor lead delivery. You will track pacing throughout the day, flag issues as they arise, and ensure all quotas are met. Lead pacing must be smooth, strategic, and consistent.
• Coordinate and collaborate with cross functional teams. You will communicate with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders (media buyers, affiliates, vendors, partners, and internal team members) to keep operations running smoothly.
• Analyze and report on performance. You will pull daily statistics, summarize trends, patterns, and risks, and surface anything that needs attention. You will update daily performance trackers and dashboards accurately, consistently, and on time.
• Maintain and manage systems. You will maintain our tracking platforms, spreadsheets, and dashboards accurate and up to date

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMPLEX OR ANALYTICAL TASKS INVOLVED?

• This person must be analytical and good with numbers. They will use data to diagnose, and solve problems. As an example, they should know Excel formulas or know how to build a simple model in a spreadsheet (or know how to use AI to do that).
• This person must be a fast learner. We work with a unique technical stack and our business is unique. They should be able to learn the basic functions of new tech tools and systems in order to troubleshoot quickly.

HOW IS SUCCESS MEASURED?

• Months 1-2: Learn our systems, shadow the team, take ownership of daily tasks.
• Month 3: Stakeholders feel their work is 5x easier because of what you do.
• Months 4-6: Own your shift independently, handle affiliate, and partner communication. Stakeholders feel their work is 5x easier because of what you do.
• Beyond: As we add verticals and scale, grow into a senior operations role or specialize

TECHNICAL SKILLS REQUIRED ON DAY ONE

WOULD BE NICE IF

• Fluent in English (doesn’t need to be first language, but must be fluent)

WHAT ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS ARE IMPORTANT?

• Bias Toward Action: Move fast. You solve problems before they reach the CEO.

• Curiosity: You are curious about learning new things, tools, industries, and people.
• Resilience: You thrive in the high-stakes, fast-paced environment of a startup without needing hand-holding.
