Job Description

We're after a Programmatic Ad Operations Specialist to support Display campaigns across our iGaming products. You'll traffic campaigns, set up creatives and tracking, and make sure every launch runs smoothly on our advertising platforms.

You'll need hands-on Ad Operations experience, ideally with Adform, because it has a steep learning curve. The day-to-day work is trafficking campaigns, implementing HTML creatives, ad tags and tracking, QAing everything before launch, and troubleshooting technical issues. Experience with iGaming or gambling brands is a bonus, not a deal breaker.

AI is a big part of how we work. The team uses Claude Code daily to automate workflows and run operations in Adform, and you'll be doing the same. You don't need to arrive as an expert, but you do need to be keen to work this way.

You'll support campaigns across EMEA, NA and APAC, work closely with internal teams and external partners, and report to our Programmatic Team Lead.

Responsibilities

• Manage banner ads and tags across our DSPs, including Adform and other direct networks
• Upload and organise translated banners to our ad server
• Generate tracking links

• Run A/B tests on banners and report on how they compare

Required Experience

• 1–3 years in Ad Operations, Digital Advertising or Ad Tech
• At least two years using a large DSP and ad servers (ideally Adform, but DV360, The Trade Desk or Amazon DSP work too)
• Understanding of HTML5 creatives, third-party ad tags, JavaScript tags and VAST/VPAID tags
• Experience implementing click trackers, impression trackers and conversion tracking
• Experience creating and validating tracking URLs using UTM parameters and macros
• Familiarity with pixels, conversion tracking and tag troubleshooting
• Experience QAing creatives before launch across browsers and devices
• Able to troubleshoot issues with creatives, redirects, tracking discrepancies and delivery
• Good understanding of GA4, Google Tag Manager, and building basic reports in Looker Studio
• Solid Excel/Google Sheets skills
• Strong attention to detail
• Able to juggle multiple campaigns at once
• Self-motivated and highly organised
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Based within 3 hours of GMT (we're in the UK)

Preferred Qualifications

• Enough JavaScript, HTML and CSS to automate tasks like banner uploads and tag management
• Experience with Display, Native, Video and CTV formats
• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools, especially Claude Code, for automating workflows and troubleshooting

Benefits & Rewards

• A brilliant opportunity to grow your career & work with a fun, fast-paced & growing company, prepared to let you shine
• An entrepreneurial environment where you learn more every day (we more than welcome and support people with their own projects)
• Build an organization that continues to diversify its portfolio
• Personal responsibility with a ton of autonomy
• 33 free paid days
• Market-leading remuneration and bonuses available
• An international team with over 35 nationalities
• Fully Remote working
