Summary

We're a small boutique digital marketing agency based in Milwaukee looking for a sharp, systems-oriented Programmatic Media Buyer to cover programmatic across a portfolio of client accounts. This role starts as maternity leave coverage (beginning late 2026) with potential to grow into ongoing work. You're right for this role if you've run programmatic campaigns for real clients. You're comfortable operating inside someone else's systems without needing to rebuild everything from scratch. Who you are: 3+ years running programmatic campaigns in a DSP (The Trade Desk, DV360, Amazon DSP, Spotify Ad Studio, AudioGo) for real client accounts Experience running CTV/OTT and audio campaigns Familiar with Funnel.io or willing to learn. Ability to build and maintain data connections and reporting pipelines. Proficient in Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio). Ability to build dashboards from scratch, not just populate templates. Experienced with Google Tag Manager and GA4 for conversion tracking setup and troubleshooting Comfortable working inside an existing agency's tools and processes. Our systems include Funnel, Looker Studio, and ClickUp. Responsive and async-friendly. We run lean and communicate through task management and written updates, not constant meetings. Bonus if you have: Experience at a digital marketing agency managing multiple client accounts simultaneously What you'll be doing: Managing programmatic campaigns across multiple DSPs. Pacing, optimization, audience strategy. Building and maintaining client-facing reporting dashboards in Looker Studio using Funnel.io as the data source Completing monthly reporting with written recommendations and analysis Tracking spend and pacing using our existing internal documents and processes Flagging issues proactively. We'd rather hear about a problem early than be surprised. Application Requirement Please submit a 3-5 minute Loom video answering the following: Walk us through a programmatic campaign you managed from build to reporting. What DSP did you use, what were the goals, and what did you optimize? What's your experience with Google Data Studio? Can you build data connections and dashboards from scratch? Have you worked inside an agency's existing systems and tools before, or do you typically set up your own? How do you handle that transition? Applications without a Loom will not be considered.
