• Review Inventory Dashboard to ensure we’re spending appropriately and hitting KPIs

• Govern QPS caps across all SSP partners

• Set up Alerts so we learn about any major changes to Inventory as soon as possible

What we're looking for:

• 5+ of experience in ad tech, account management, or digital advertising

• Proven ability to effectively manage SSP and Publisher partners

• Familiarity with DSPs (e.g. The Trade Desk, StackAdapt), SSPs (e.g. Magnite, Index Exchange), and Publishers (e.g. Netflix, Spotify); experience in B2B advertising a strong plus

• Excellent executor who shares creative ideas for improving performance and ultimately delivers results
