This is a highly dynamic and impactful role where your analytical precision and quick thinking directly affect revenue.

• Experience with data analysis, forecasting, and strategy optimization.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to delivering accurate, high-quality work.
• Ability to stay focused and adapt quickly in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Basic programming knowledge (Python preferred) to understand and modify algorithms.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically.
• Familiarity with ping post systems and click buying platforms or similar

• 3-5 years in proven experience in supply and demand analysis and strategy development, as well as lead buying & selling.
• Deep understanding of click-buying, media arbitrage, and supply/demand optimization.
• Experience in a day-trading-like environment or similar high-intensity decision-making roles.
• Knowledge of SQL or other data querying languages is a plus.

• Competitive salary + commission
• Unlimited PTO – take a break when you need it!

• 401(k) company match plan – fully vested day 1
• Award winning culture & unprecedented team spirit (featured in LA Business Journal & Built In LA)
