SUMMARY
As a Programmatic Account Specialist, you will play a crucial role in supporting the programmatic CTV advertising process, with a focus on deal intake, pre-sale validation, and campaign setup across our internal Order Management System and various SSP platforms (FreeWheel, Magnite, Index, Pubmatic, etc.).

Flagging custom or non-standard requests for appropriate cross-functional review and execution
Supporting campaign setup across various SSP platforms with a foundational understanding of programmatic and CTV advertising

Collaborating with Sales, Account Managers, Yield, Ad Ops, and other cross-functional teams to ensure deal requirements are met and accurately reflected across systems
