Senior Campaign Manager – Programmatic

London / Hybrid

£40,000 to £45,000 + Bonus

We’re working with a leading global digital advertising business looking to hire a Senior Campaign Manager into its UK Operations team.

This is a hands-on campaign role for someone who sits naturally between Ad Operations and Programmatic Trading. You’ll take ownership of complex digital campaigns from setup and trafficking through to optimisation, troubleshooting and reporting, working closely with agency trading teams and internal commercial stakeholders.

The role

You’ll be responsible for the end-to-end delivery and performance of campaigns across video, display and interactive formats.

Day to day, you’ll:

• Own campaign setup, trafficking, tagging and delivery.
• Manage pixels, third-party tags and DSP configurations.
• Monitor pacing, delivery, viewability, engagement and wider campaign KPIs.
• Optimise campaigns in real time to improve performance and ensure full delivery.
• Troubleshoot technical and delivery issues across tracking, brand safety, viewability and targeting.
• Work closely with Sales and Client Services to translate client briefs into effective campaign strategies.
• Partner with agency trading teams and act as a trusted operational contact.
• Turn campaign data into clear performance insights and recommendations.
• Maintain high standards of accuracy across campaign management and reporting platforms.

What we’re looking for

The key requirement is someone with a strong combination of Ad Operations experience and hands-on programmatic trading knowledge.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience within AdTech, a media agency, digital publisher or similar environment.
• Strong hands-on campaign management and Ad Ops experience.
• Practical experience working with DSPs and programmatic buying.
• Experience with ad servers, trafficking, pixels and third-party tracking.
• Knowledge of verification platforms such as IAS, DoubleVerify or similar.
• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with campaign performance data.
• The ability to diagnose campaign issues and proactively find solutions.
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with both commercial and technical stakeholders.

Experience across CTV, video, DCO, rich media or cookieless targeting would be particularly valuable, as would technical knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript or browser debugging tools.

Why consider it?

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

You’ll work across sophisticated programmatic campaigns, have genuine autonomy over delivery and optimisation, and join a global advertising business with significant investment in technology, training and career development.
