• Oversee rate management, pacing, billing, and internal deal tracking.
• Lead post-sale client management and drive renewals.
• Build scalable processes and SLAs across sales, ops, and product.
• Manage relationships with external partners (e.g. trafficking support, analytics tools).
• Partner with Legal, Finance, Product, and Sales to unblock delivery.
• Identify tooling gaps and collaborate with Product/Engineering on solutions.
• Standardise reporting and support dashboard development.
• Directly manage our Ad Ops Manager and support future team growth.
  
  

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

• 7–10 years of experience in digital media, advertising operations, or campaign delivery - ideally with at least 3+ years in a leadership or team management role.
• Experience running or scaling ad operations in a digital media or tech company.
• Deep knowledge of trafficking, reporting, and campaign delivery.
• Strong project management and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• A systems thinker who brings order and insight to complexity.
• Someone who takes pride in execution, quality, and team success.
  
  

Bonus Points

• Experience with Google Ad Manager, programmatic platforms, or native ad tools
• Familiarity with performance marketing metrics, attribution models, and media reporting tools
• Exposure to media planning, rate card development, or sales enablement processes
• Experience supporting both direct and programmatic campaigns
• Background in travel, tourism, or international markets
• Comfort working across multiple time zones and fast-moving teams
• Fluency in languages beyond English is a plus
