  • Lead the end-to-end operational oversight of campaign setup, trafficking, and billing in Google Ad Manager, partnering with internal entities such as Yahoo Brand Studios, Legal, and Financial Operations to ensure quality execution.
  • Oversee the creation and management of complex creative/ad builds across all platforms, ensuring technical specifications and client KPIs are met.
  • Monitor the health of high-value brand campaigns and collaborate proactively with account teams to enhance performance and troubleshoot operational issues.
  • Identify and implement AI-driven efficiencies in daily workflows to reduce manual tasks and accelerate campaign launch timelines.

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of experience in digital advertising operations, campaign management, or a related field.

  • Extreme attention to detail and strong organizational skills, with a proven ability to manage multiple high-value projects under tight deadlines.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate independently with minimal guidance, prioritizing high-impact goals and making sound judgments in ambiguous situations.

  • Technical proficiency with Google Workspace and macOS.

Preferred

  • Hands-on experience building workflows or solutions with Claude, or a comparable record of putting AI tools to work in an operational role.
  • A mindset focused on AI-augmented oversight—viewing emerging tools as a way to increase impact rather than just efficiency.
  • Experience with advanced digital advertising platforms and a deep understanding of current industry trends.
  • Trafficking experience beyond GAM, or with other order management systems.
  • Previous experience in a client-facing operational role for a large-scale media company.
  • Experience supporting regulated industries such as pharma, where ad disclaimers and compliance requirements come into play.
