3. Campaign Optimization

• Own and support mid-flight campaign optimisation

4. Troubleshooting & quality assurance

• Troubleshoot delivery, pacing, targeting, creative and tracking issues, collaborating with Traders, Ad Operations and other teams as needed.
• Generate and validate tracking pixels for campaign measurement, ensuring accurate implementation before launch.
• Ensure all campaign setups (targeting, budgets, flight dates, creatives, pixels) are correct and ready for launch.

5. Collaboration, continuous learning & improvement

• Work cross-functionally with Traders, Account Managers, Sales, DnA and other internal stakeholders across regions, building strong relationships and navigating differences to find solutions.
• Communicate clearly and effectively with internal teams, adapting your style to drive positive outcomes.
• Bring curiosity and a continuous‑improvement mindset, contributing ideas that improve efficiency, accuracy, and impact in our operational workflows.
• Build exposure to programmatic trading by supporting basic campaign activation tasks, helping with pre‑ and post‑campaign analysis, and progressing through agreed platform learning paths and certifications (e.g. DV360, The Trade Desk, social platforms) as part of your development plan.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

• Genuine interest in digital media, advertising and/or programmatic.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail.
• Analytical mindset and confidence working with data.
