Why This Role Exists
- We’re growing exponentially and we are looking for an ambitious and data-driven individual to join our small but powerful team. This role works directly with the Traffic Lead and reports directly to the Traffic Manager.
- Our business operates in live, high-stakes environments where performance, revenue, and ad operations must be monitored and managed in real time - similar to a trading desk.
- Apply if you’re excited to learn about affiliate marketing, performance marketing, and how a fast-moving media buying team works.
- In the first 30 days, you’ll focus on shadowing our team, learning the business and tool stack, and diving deep into the data, analytics, and sharing daily performance metrics.
What You’ll Do
- Monitor live operations in our media buying department. You will oversee live systems, triage issues quickly, and resolve issues that come up in real-time through quantitative and qualitative analysis. You will proactively identify and communicate risks early and bring solutions.
- Manage daily cap quotas and allocations . You will strategically distribute traffic volume across media buying teams based on orders, performance, and capacity. You will make sure quotas and caps are consistently filled on a daily basis without chaos.
- Monitor lead delivery. You will track pacing throughout the day, flag issues as they arise, and ensure all quotas are met. Lead pacing must be smooth, strategic, and consistent.
- Coordinate and collaborate with cross-functional teams. You will communicate with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders (media buyers, affiliates, vendors, partners, and internal team members) to keep operations running smoothly.
- Analyze and report on performance. You will pull daily statistics, summarize trends, patterns, and risks, and surface anything that needs attention. You will update daily performance trackers and dashboards accurately, consistently, and on time.
- Maintain and manage systems. You will accurately maintain our tracking platforms, spreadsheets, and dashboards.
What Success Looks Like

- Month 3: Stakeholders feel their work is 5x easier because of what you do.
- Months 4-6: Own your shift independently, handle affiliate, and partner communication. Stakeholders feel their work is 5x easier because of what you do.

You’re a Good Fit If You
