Job Summary

Own the end-to-end programmatic, geo-targeted campaigns in a regulated cannabis-ad environment, balancing ROAS with strict compliance and fast delivery.

  • Geo-targeting and Compliance: Own precise location targeting and regulatory guardrails across cannabis campaigns.
  • Programmatic & Automation: Build automation to QA targeting, optimize bidding, and deliver dashboards for clients and internal teams.
  • Reporting & Speed to Launch: Stand up campaigns quickly while maintaining accuracy and real-time performance visibility.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build and traffic geo-targeted campaigns in the JointCommerce DSP, with precise location targeting as a non-negotiable core competency.
  • Deliver across formats — plan and execute display, video, and DOOH campaigns for our retail and brand partners, driving return on ad spend (ROAS) and hitting performance targets across CTR, VCR, and CPC.
  • Trade programmatically — manage bids, budgets, inventory, deals, and optimization levers to hit and exceed KPIs.
  • Operate within highly regulated environments , ensuring every campaign meets industry-specific compliance, targeting restrictions, and creative-approval requirements.
  • Write and maintain code to automate campaign workflows, QA targeting logic, transform data, and build custom optimization and reporting tooling.
  • Set up and manage client reporting in the JointCommerce reporting dashboards — configuring, maintaining, and validating dashboards so clients and internal teams always have accurate, up-to-date views.
  • Keep the team continuously updated on campaign performance — proactively flagging wins, risks, pacing issues, and optimization opportunities as they happen, not after.
  • Stand up new campaigns within two business days of receiving a complete brief, without sacrificing accuracy or compliance.
  • Troubleshoot delivery, targeting, and tracking issues quickly and independently.

Requirements

  • Proven hands-on experience trading in the JointCommerce DSP.
  • Proficiency delivering display, video, and DOOH campaigns that drive return on ad spend (ROAS) and consistently hit CTR, VCR, and CPC goals for retail and brand partners.
  • Ability to code — comfortable scripting/automating (e.g. Python, SQL, JavaScript, or similar) to solve campaign, data, and reporting problems.
  • Deep, demonstrable expertise in geo-targeting — from radius and postcode targeting to geo-fencing and location-verification best practices.
  • Experience running programmatic campaigns in cannabis or other highly regulated categories , with a strong grasp of the compliance guardrails involved — A21+ age-gating, state- and municipality-specific targeting rules, publisher/inventory restrictions, and creative-approval requirements.
  • Fluency with reporting and BI tooling; ability to configure and manage client-facing dashboards (experience with the JointCommerce reporting suite is a strong plus).

Preferred

  • Experience in the cannabis industry, or working with dispensaries, MSOs, or cannabis brands and retailers.
  • Familiarity with ad-tech ecosystems (ad servers, DMPs/CDPs, verification vendors like DoubleVerify/IAS).
  • Experience with APIs for bulk campaign management or automated reporting.
  • Familiarity with POS/ecommerce menu integrations and closed-loop attribution.
  • Knowledge of privacy frameworks relevant to regulated advertising (e.g. GDPR, CCPA).

Benefits

  • competitive compensation
  • a flexible remote-first environment
  • growth opportunity
