Job description

I have a top opportunity for a first-class Programmatic Operations Director to join a programmatic specialist agency based in the heart of London.

This opportunity has arisen due to the exponential growth of the agency, which has since increased its programmatic offerings and is looking for someone to lead on programmatic strategy and operations within the agency. 

Reporting into the Group MD, you will be responsible for refining client-facing programmatic strategy, contributing to the board's strategic directions and revenue targets, developing the product portfolio and managing the presentations of large and complex technical projects. Not only that, you will oversee a team of programmatic professionals, so you need to be an expert in your field!

Location: London
Salary: Dependent on experience

  • Experience in growing and developing a programmatic team, preferably within an agency environment
  • A high level of market knowledge is required
  • Must be commercially sound with solid margin-based negotiation skills
  • Happy to contribute to and execute the board's strategic direction in terms of account growth and new client expansion plans
  • Comfortable presenting complex technical projects alongside sound commercial arguments to ensure decisions are made based on credibility
  • Confident in your role as a leader, happy to manage the rapidly growing tech and data teams, whilst inspiring existing staff 
  • Happy to oversee reporting, auditing and analysis 
  • The ability to work in conjunction with other team areas, to ensure that best practices are being followed
  • Able to develop the device agnostic strategy, in preparation for audience and performance tracking 
  • Previous experience using DSPs, Adservers and DMPs is a must
  • Strong ability to build programmatic strategies for clients 
  • Sound knowledge of dashboard delivery and data automation

Ultimately, this agency’s philosophy is working together to achieve great results, whilst having a good time doing so. You will need to be passionate, commercially astute, and inspiring, but also someone who knows it’s okay to fail sometimes. You will be creative and technical, commercial and out of the box, and a great leader to all!

This role comes with excellent benefits, including a super competitive salary and much more.
