Programmatic Ad Operations Specialist
The company is seeking a Programmatic Ad Operations Specialist to support Display campaigns across its iGaming products. The role involves trafficking campaigns, setting up creatives and tracking, and ensuring that every launch runs smoothly on the advertising platforms.
The day-to-day work includes trafficking campaigns, implementing HTML creatives, ad tags and tracking, QAing everything before launch, and troubleshooting technical issues. Experience with iGaming or gambling brands is a bonus, not a deal breaker.
AI is a significant part of how the team works. The team uses Claude Code daily to automate workflows and run operations in Adform, and the successful candidate will be expected to do the same. While expertise is not required upon arrival, a keenness to work this way is essential.
The specialist will support campaigns across EMEA, NA and APAC, work closely with internal teams and external partners, and report to the Programmatic Team Lead.
