Senior Programmatic Manager

London | Hybrid – 3 days per week

£55,000–£60,000


I’m supporting a growing independent AdTech business looking to hire a Senior Programmatic Manager into its London team.


This is a hands-on role for someone who combines strong programmatic trading and AdOps expertise with a commercial mindset. You’ll take ownership of campaign delivery, improve how the operations team works and help develop more junior team members.


The role:


  • Own the setup, delivery and optimisation of programmatic campaigns across display, video, CTV, audio and native
  • Manage trafficking, tagging, tracking, audience strategy, pacing and campaign QA
  • Lead performance analysis and identify opportunities to improve both results and account revenue
  • Work across major DSPs, with strong DV360 experience particularly important
  • Troubleshoot campaign delivery, pixel and creative issues
  • Build clear client reporting and present actionable performance insights
  • •mprove operational processes, workflows and automation
  • Support and develop a small team of programmatic specialists


What they’re looking for:


  • 5+ years’ experience across programmatic trading, media buying or digital campaign operations
  • Strong hands-on experience with DV360 and other leading DSPs
  • Good knowledge of AdOps, trafficking, tracking and campaign measurement
  • Experience optimising campaigns against performance and conversion-focused KPIs
  • Commercial awareness and the ability to identify growth opportunities
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving and client communication skills
  • Previous management experience is useful, although they will consider someone ready to take their first formal leadership step


This would suit a technically strong programmatic operator who still enjoys being close to campaign delivery but wants broader ownership across people, performance and operational strategy.
