Job description

I’m supporting a growing independent AdTech business looking to hire a Senior Programmatic Manager into its London team.

This is a hands-on role for someone who combines strong programmatic trading and AdOps expertise with a commercial mindset. You’ll take ownership of campaign delivery, improve how the operations team works and help develop more junior team members.

The role:

• Own the setup, delivery and optimisation of programmatic campaigns across display, video, CTV, audio and native
• Manage trafficking, tagging, tracking, audience strategy, pacing and campaign QA
• Lead performance analysis and identify opportunities to improve both results and account revenue
• Work across major DSPs, with strong DV360 experience particularly important
• Troubleshoot campaign delivery, pixel and creative issues
• Build clear client reporting and present actionable performance insights
• Improve operational processes, workflows and automation
• Support and develop a small team of programmatic specialists

What they’re looking for:

• 5+ years’ experience across programmatic trading, media buying or digital campaign operations
• Strong hands-on experience with DV360 and other leading DSPs
• Good knowledge of AdOps, trafficking, tracking and campaign measurement
• Experience optimising campaigns against performance and conversion-focused KPIs
• Commercial awareness and the ability to identify growth opportunities
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and client communication skills
• Previous management experience is useful, although they will consider someone ready to take their first formal leadership step

This would suit a technically strong programmatic operator who still enjoys being close to campaign delivery but wants broader ownership across people, performance and operational strategy.
