Partnership Manager, Programmatic Partnerships

Responsibilities

• Team up with Paramount's DSP, SSP, and platform partner leads to align on strategy and drive shared priorities across the programmatic business.
• Own the relationships with technical and analytical contacts at our DSP and SSP programmatic partners and at our platform/distribution partners, handling both day-to-day needs and long-term planning.
• Help manage the relationships with mediation platforms (e.g., SpringServe, Publica, etc.), and keep integrations running smoothly.
• Serve as the main link to our product and ops teams, sharing partner feedback that helps shape roadmaps and requirements.
• Track how our programmatic partners perform — SSP performance, demand quality, fill rates, CPMs, win rates, and revenue contribution — to shape partnership strategy and get the most value from every partner.
• Work with our internal monetization teams on bidding trends, pricing, and deal strategy to find new ways to optimize and grow revenue across the partner ecosystem.
• Review new programmatic and platform partners and integrations, and bring clear, data-backed recommendations to go/no-go decisions.
• Stay current on industry trends (identity, signal loss, SPO, curation, measurement) to inform partner strategy.

Requirements

• 3-5 years in programmatic advertising, ad tech, or partnerships, with CTV/video experience and a track record managing outside partner relationships (DSPs, SSPs, and/or distribution platforms).
• SQL proficiency required; Python/R a plus.
• Experience with CTV/video ad servers and mediation platforms (e.g., SpringServe, Publica) and SSPs (Magnite, PubMatic, Index Exchange, OpenX).
• Strong knowledge of DSPs, header bidding, OpenRTB, deal IDs, SSAI, and SPO.
• A proven approach to managing both technical and analytical relationships with programmatic and platform partners to drive real business results.
• Experience with BI tools (Looker, Tableau, Power BI) is a plus, since you'll work closely with our internal yield and analytics teams.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to win over both technical and non-technical people inside Paramount and at partner organizations.
• Strong project management skills across multiple partners and priorities.
