The Morning Brew team is clever, creative, and growing fast. Want in? Read on.
OVERVIEW
Morning Brew Inc. is looking for a Senior Ad Ops Manager to make sure our audio and video ad campaigns not only run flawlessly, but also shine in front of our clients.
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill trafficking gig. We’re looking for someone who can get hands-on in platforms like Megaphone, Spotify, YouTube, and confidently jump into a client call to explain how pixels, tags, and tracking actually work (without putting anyone to sleep).
As Morning Brew Inc’s resident audio/video ad ops pro, you’ll be the person people turn to when something breaks, when a client has a question, or when Sales needs to know what’s actually possible before they put it in a deck.
Our positions are remote/hybrid; however, we have a strong preference for employees who can work from our Morning Brew Inc. HQ in NYC.
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON
- Build + Launch: Set up, QA, and launch audio and video campaigns across multiple platforms, making sure everything runs smoothly from copy to clicktags.
- Track + Prove It: Implement client pixels/tags and confirm they’re firing, so we can prove performance and keep renewals rolling.
- Client-Facing SME: Join onboarding and mid-flight calls to walk clients through the tech, manage expectations, and help AMs scope realistic deliverables.
- Monitor + Report: Keep a close eye on campaign pacing and performance, flag issues early, and deliver accurate reporting that tells the right story.
- Document + Improve: Create playbooks, streamline workflows, and push the team forward on what “great” looks like for audio/video ad ops.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of experience in digital ad operations with audio/video platforms. Experience with a large digital publisher is ideal.
- You know your way around Megaphone, Spotify Ad Studio, YouTube Studio, and web ad trafficking tools.
- You’ve got technical a/v chops and can troubleshoot tracking issues in your sleep.
- You’re detail-obsessed, but also comfortable explaining complex ad tech to non-technical teammates and clients. Strong project management and QA discipline.
- You thrive in a collaborative environment where you can influence outcomes.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence in client-facing settings.
COMPENSATION $80-100k *Final offers for this job will be made within the parameters of the salary range provided, commensurate with experience. Total offer package to include benefits highlighted under our perks section below.
HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER
Respectful Candor – We believe that engaging in timely, constructive, and open discourse is an act of respect that makes for a more transparent and productive work environment.

HOW WE TREAT OUR WORK
Curiosity -- We learn every day through deliberate inquiry and exploration. We re-examine assumptions to be a better company, offer better products, and become better colleagues.
Accountability -- We celebrate our successes and own our failures. Taking responsibility for our actions allows us to learn from our experiences.
Bias Toward Action -- We know speed matters in business so we embrace quick and calculated risk-taking. We understand that many actions are reversible and therefore we are solutions-oriented, even when facing obstacles and challenges.
Challenger Mentality -- We don’t allow ourselves to be comfortable with our success. We are hungry to become the best and create more value for our audience.
Clarity of Purpose -- We understand the “why” in our work, which helps us to operate at our highest level of performance and efficiency.
PERKS
While being surrounded by a bunch of cool people who look great in crewnecks is its own reward, we have plenty more to offer.
Brew’s HQ: Pick an adjustable standing desk or cozy corner and load up on free coffee (duh) and snacks at our new two-story office space in NYC’s Flatiron District.
401(k) employer match: We want to help you prepare for the future, now.
Premium health, vision, and dental plans: Your health matters!

Family planning: Want to join #brewparents? Generous paid parental leave and fertility coverage for eligible employees.
Employee Resource Groups: Black Coffee, LGBTQ Brew, AAPI Brew, Cafe Con Leche, and Grounded
Gym and workout class reimbursements: It pays to be healthy.
Annual learning credit: Want to learn something new? We’ll reimburse you.
BRIEF BREW HISTORY
Morning Brew Inc. was founded in 2015 by two entrepreneurial college students who noticed their peers were not consuming legacy media resources about business and finance news, but had a high desire to learn about those topics. What started as a small on-campus email has since evolved into a multi-channel media company that operates 20+ unique content franchises. All while maintaining our witty, honest and engaging tone that millions of loyal MBI audience members rely upon daily to better navigate the world.
In 2020 a majority stake in MBI was acquired by Axel Springer SE and in February 2025 that position was increased to full ownership of the business. Axel Springer SE is a family-owned, transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York that is committed to the values of a free and informed society.
