Ad Operations Manager at SuperAwesome driving execution of paid media campaigns and optimizing performance across web and app environments.
Responsibilities
Execute the testing, pacing, and delivery of managed campaigns buying programmatically (using platforms like Beeswax and Google Ads).
Monitor and manage campaign performance and delivery, ensuring we hit client KPIs while maintaining financial margin and gross profit goals.
Monitor daily campaign pacing and performance; proactively identify when a strategy is no longer effective, call out when things go wrong, and pivot to apply effective, data-driven solutions.
Act as the first line of defense for campaign issues. Apply critical thinking to troubleshoot ad tech nuances, ad format capabilities, and programmatic delivery issues, looking beyond surface-level symptoms to find root causes.
Proactively identify manual, repetitive tasks within your day-to-day workflows. Bring fresh ideas to the table and collaborate on department projects aimed at automating and streamlining Ad Ops infrastructure.
Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to test new ad tech features, marketplace connections, publishers, and verification partners.
Partner with Account Managers to translate client briefs into actionable campaign setups. Provide operational input and inventory forecasting to the Sales team for upcoming proposals.
Invest in building trust with all colleagues. Work to agreed goals and deal with challenges in a responsive, constructive way when interfacing with external vendors or internal teams.

Strong experience trading or managing campaigns within major DSPs (e.g., DV360, The Trade Desk, or Beeswax), understanding standard optimisation levers and their impact.
A naturally inquisitive and analytical mindset. You don't just follow the steps; you ask why, and you have a strong aptitude for untangling complex operational issues.
Strong working knowledge of VAST/HTML5 formats and experience working with 3rd party tag vendors (e.g., DCM, Innovid, Moat, IAS).
High proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets, with the ability to pull, manipulate, and interpret data to inform campaign optimizations.
An obsessive eye for detail and a track record of delivering multiple complex projects from inception to completion.
