Senior Campaign Manager, Programmatic

London | Hybrid | £40,000 to £45,000 plus Bonus

Behind every great programmatic campaign is someone making sure the technology, trading and delivery all work together.

We are working with a leading global digital advertising business looking to add a Senior Campaign Manager to its UK Operations team.

This is a hands on role sitting naturally between Ad Operations and Programmatic Trading. You will take ownership of sophisticated digital campaigns from initial setup and trafficking through to optimisation, troubleshooting and final reporting.

The opportunity

You will manage campaigns across video, display and interactive formats, making sure everything is configured correctly, delivering against plan and performing against the metrics that matter.

That means getting into the detail of trafficking, tagging, pixels, third party tracking and DSP configurations, while monitoring pacing, viewability, engagement and wider campaign performance.

You will optimise campaigns in real time, identify issues before they become problems and troubleshoot anything affecting tracking, targeting, brand safety, delivery or performance.

You will also work closely with Sales, Client Services and agency trading teams, translating client briefs into effective campaign strategies and acting as a trusted operational partner throughout delivery.

The role is not simply about making campaigns run. You will use performance data to explain what is happening, identify opportunities and provide clear recommendations back to commercial teams and clients.

What they are looking for

The strongest fit will be someone who combines solid Ad Operations experience with genuine hands on programmatic trading knowledge.

You are likely to have worked within an Adtech business, media agency, digital publisher or similar environment, with practical experience across DSPs, ad servers, trafficking, pixels and third party tracking.

Experience with verification platforms such as IAS or DoubleVerify would be valuable, alongside strong analytical skills and the ability to diagnose campaign issues quickly.

You will need to be comfortable working with both technical and commercial stakeholders, explaining complex campaign challenges clearly and taking ownership of finding the solution.

Experience across CTV, video, DCO, rich media or cookieless targeting would be particularly useful. Technical knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript or browser debugging tools would also be a strong advantage.

Why consider it?

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical side of digital advertising but wants broader ownership and more commercial exposure.

You will work across sophisticated programmatic campaigns, have genuine autonomy over optimisation and delivery, and join a global advertising business investing heavily in technology, training and career development.
