Original posting from Tubi via Greenhouse

About the Role:

Tubi is seeking a Manager, Advertising Operations to lead a team of Ad Operations Specialists and set the standard for how we deliver, troubleshoot, and scale campaigns for Tubi's high-profile direct and programmatic clients. You will report into the VP of Advertising Operations & Campaign Management and partner closely with Ad Sales, Account Management, Media Strategy, and Engineering to make sure campaigns are set up correctly, deliver in full, and are measured and invoiced accurately.

Beyond owning day-to-day execution, you will coach and develop your team, build the processes and tooling that standardize programmatic deal setup and delivery monitoring, and act as the escalation point for complex technical issues across measurement, ad serving, programmatic, and data targeting. You should be comfortable in a space where industry standards are still being defined, and able to help Sales and clients meet their goals within the limits of existing ad serving technologies.

This is a hybrid role in New York City; employees are required four days in the office, subject to change.

Own campaign delivery and quality

Ensure direct sold and programmatic campaigns deliver in full, with proactive daily pacing analysis and optimization recommendations

Own accurate and timely invoicing inputs for Tubi's direct clients, and understand each client's KPIs so delivery supports their goals

Troubleshoot at the advanced level

Serve as the escalation point for complex issues across measurement, ad serving, programmatic, and data targeting

Lead resolution of traffic issues and first-party vs. third-party discrepancies, and review 1st and 3rd party reporting for accuracy

Run root-cause analysis and post-mortems on delivery-impacting incidents, and turn findings into lasting fixes

Build scalable programmatic processes

Develop and implement processes that standardize programmatic deal setup and monitor delivery

Define and drive adoption of troubleshooting tools and workflows that cut resolution time and reduce manual work

Leverage Tubi's proprietary ad server to monetize inventory, and shape requirements for new tooling in partnership with Product and Engineering

Collaborate across sales, support, and tech

Partner with Ad Sales, Account Management, and sales support teams to help clients work through issues and meet their goals

Work with Engineering and Product to surface ad tech issues, prioritize fixes, and validate releases

Report delivery results back to Media Strategy so planning stays accurate

Analyze and report

Build and maintain dashboards and reports that give Sales, Account Management, and leadership clear visibility into pacing, delivery, and performance

Use data to identify trends, forecast risk to delivery, and recommend operational improvements

Your Background:

Bachelor's degree from an accredited university, or equivalent work experience

8+ total years of experience in Advertising Operations

2+ years of management or mentorship experience

Skilled at coaching and leading others, including performance management and resource management

Advanced troubleshooting of ad technologies, including measurement, ad serving, programmatic, and data targeting

Proven ability to collaborate across sales, support, and tech teams

Track record of developing and implementing processes that standardize programmatic deal setup, monitor delivery, and enable troubleshooting tools and workflows

Advanced command of data analysis tools, including Excel, data visualization tools, and reporting dashboards

Demonstrated ability to leverage AI to improve workflows and tasks

Strong technical understanding of the digital ecosystem, including the role a publisher plays in the context of an SSP and a DSP
