Responsibilities

  • BROADCAST TRAFFIC: Own the daily end-to-end trafficking process for all linear TV and radio campaigns, moving away from a third-party model to a direct-to-station execution model.
  • BROADCAST TRAFFIC: Act as the primary operator within our Mediaocean Prisma ecosystem, ensuring the seamless flow of buy data, ISCI codes and reconciliation data.
  • BROADCAST TRAFFIC: Manage the generation and assignment of ISCI codes and use Comcast AdFusion to deliver assets to stations across the country.
  • BROADCAST TRAFFIC: Lead the charge on discrepancy resolution and post-air-date reconciliation to ensure our clients get exactly what they paid for.
  • DIGITAL TRAFFIC: Work closely with McJ brand team to receive and route client-approved creative assets.
  • DIGITAL TRAFFIC: Ensure creative assets meet platform specs and are versioned correctly by audience, format and placement.
  • DIGITAL TRAFFIC: Support the team in QA tagging, tracking, UTMs and naming conventions before launch.
  • DIGITAL TRAFFIC: Implement buy details accurately within DSPs/ad servers as needed.
  • DIGITAL TRAFFIC: Conduct prelaunch checks to confirm targeting, pacing and tracking integrity.
  • DIGITAL TRAFFIC: Monitor live delivery, and flag discrepancies quickly.
  • CAMPAIGN ORCHESTRATION AND WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT: Coordinate across media, creative, production, analytics, account and vendor teams to ensure campaigns are operationally ready for launch.
  • CAMPAIGN ORCHESTRATION AND WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT: Identify gaps, bottlenecks or unclear ownership early, resolving issues before they impact go-live.
  • CAMPAIGN ORCHESTRATION AND WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT: Continuously assess trafficking workflows to surface opportunities for greater efficiency, clarity and scalability.
  • CAMPAIGN ORCHESTRATION AND WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT: Serve as a power user across trafficking systems (Mediaocean, AdFusion, DSPs and ad servers).
  • CAMPAIGN ORCHESTRATION AND WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT: Maintain and evolve our “Trafficking Playbook” (standard operating procedures and process maps) as we scale our in-house capabilities.
