You’ll demystify these complexities and deliver actionable technical guidance that drives advertiser success.
You will serve as a trusted technical partner to clients, collaborating cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Operations. Ideal candidates bring a blend of technical fluency, strategic thinking, and client-facing confidence.

- Translate technical product features and data flows into clear, actionable narratives for clients.
- Support product rollouts and strategic initiatives in close collaboration with internal teams.
- Oversee technical implementations, including setup, customization, and configuration.
- Educate clients via training sessions and workshops on platform best practices and industry trends.
- Surface client feedback to inform product improvements and innovation opportunities.
- Stay current with evolving AdTech trends (e.g., SKAN, MMPs, MMM, Ghost Ads, cross-channel attribution).
- Use SQL to investigate data anomalies and performance trends, building trust through technical depth.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience in a technical role within the AdTech ecosystem (DSP, SSP, agency, or ad serving platform).
- Solid problem-solving skills and systems-level thinking; able to dive deep and troubleshoot complex flows.
- Skilled at clearly translating complex technical concepts for both technical and business audiences.
- Hands-on experience with SQL and data analysis.
