Programmatic Campaign Associate (Remote)

Job Title: Programmatic Campaign Associate (Remote)

About the Client: a performance marketing agency specializing in healthy, active, and lifestyle brands. The company helps businesses drive growth through data-driven marketing, audience insights, media strategy, creative content, and integrated digital solutions.

Overview: The Programmatic Associate is a hands-on execution and account health role supporting the Programmatic team. This position builds and traffics programmatic campaigns quickly and accurately, keeps live campaigns delivering on budget, and finds problems before they cost clients money. Unlike a pure QA role, the associate is expected to diagnose what is wrong and propose a specific fix, not just flag that something looks off. The associate works from documented processes, build templates, and briefs from senior team members.

Responsibilities:

• Build and manage programmatic advertising campaigns in The Trade Desk (primary) and DV360 (secondary), including YouTube, CTV, and audio campaigns.
• Configure campaign budgets, flight dates, bidding strategies, audience targeting, geo targeting, frequency caps, and brand safety settings.
• Manage creative trafficking, tracking tags, conversion pixels, deal IDs, and private marketplace (PMP) setups.
• Conduct regular campaign audits to ensure accurate settings, tracking functionality, budget pacing, and compliance with approved briefs.
• Monitor daily campaign performance, identifying delivery issues, spending anomalies, tracking errors, and fluctuations in key metrics.
• Investigate campaign issues, identify root causes, recommend solutions, and escalate concerns to the Programmatic Team Manager.
• Review placement reports to identify low-quality inventory and recommend exclusions or optimizations.
• Implement approved campaign adjustments, including creative updates, bid changes, budget shifts, and targeting refinements.
• Maintain accurate documentation, track issues through resolution, and communicate campaign risks and updates to senior team members.
• Support improvements to campaign templates, audit processes, and monitoring procedures while managing multiple client campaigns.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience building and managing campaigns in The Trade Desk
• Experience trafficking creatives and tags, including display and video (VAST) formats
• Working knowledge of bidding, frequency management, audience and geo targeting, deals and PMPs, and brand safety and fraud prevention tools
• Understanding of pixel and conversion tracking, including Google Tag Manager and Campaign Manager 360
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose the cause of a delivery or performance change, not just notice it
• The Trade Desk Edge Academy certification preferred; DV360 experience not required (training provided)
• Strong attention to detail and comfort with process-driven, high-volume work
• Ability to work quickly without sacrificing accuracy and to meet deadlines consistently
• Clear written communication skills for internal coordination and issue write-ups
• Familiarity with Google Sheets, Google Slides, and Microsoft Teams

Schedule: Monday – Friday; 9AM – 5PM Pacific Time Zone

Setup: Remote
