• Analyse ad calls, logs and delivery data to identify root causes and build well-documented, evidence-based engineering tickets
• Support optimisation initiatives to improve implementation quality, yield performance, and operational reliability
• Act as the technical point of contact for the Australia and New Zealand revenue team, identifying process improvements that enhance scalability and efficiency
• Develop and maintain internal reporting, documentation, automation tools, and workflow standards to support consistent execution
• Contribute to knowledge-sharing and training initiatives to uplift internal technical capability

We’re looking for someone with:

• 4+ yrs experience in ad tech, programmatic operations, or technical account management
• Strong understanding of the programmatic supply chain, including SSPs, DSPs, deal types, and auction mechanics
• Practical experience working with Server-Side or Client-Side Ad Insertion, VAST/VMAP, OpenRTB, or bidstream concepts
• Ability to analyse logs, delivery dat,a and technical documentation to isolate and articulate issues clearly
• Strong Excel skills; SQL or scripting experience (Python/JavaScript) advantageous
• Experience working with ad servers such as Google Ad Manager, SpringServe, or similar platforms
• An analytical, detail-oriented mindset, comfortable operating in a dynamic environment
• Strong communicator capable of explaining technical concepts to both technical and commercial stakeholders
• Proactive problem solver with a structured approach to troubleshooting
• The ability to manage multiple priorities independently while maintaining high execution standards
