Role Overview Tunnl is seeking a Data Partnerships Manager to support the operational management and day-to-day execution of our growing partner ecosystem. This role sits at the center of Tunnl’s partnerships function — responsible for keeping integrations healthy, delivering on partner commitments, and ensuring the team has the reporting and intelligence needed to drive smart, data-informed decisions across revenue, audiences, and the broader product landscape.

Reporting to the SVP of Partnerships, this role will own the operational rhythms of assigned data partnerships — from monthly revenue tracking to custom audience fulfillment and overall account growth. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Client Experience teams, and bring a detail-oriented, analytical mindset to a fast-moving, cross-functional environment. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a foundation in ad technology and digital advertising who is ready to grow their career in data partnerships.
