Job Description

Who we are

JustWatch delivers data-driven digital marketing for the global entertainment business. We run full-funnel campaigns for the biggest movie studios, streamers, sports leagues, and gaming publishers, reaching millions of fans across more than 140 countries.

We also own the world’s largest streaming guide, giving us unmatched audience data and insight. With a team of more than 200 across Berlin, Los Angeles, and remote locations, we’re profitable, growing fast, and focused on performance.

Who we need

We are looking for a detail-oriented, analytical, and proactive Ad Ops Manager to join our team in Los Angeles. You will be the technical and operational backbone of our media campaigns, ensuring seamless campaign setups, flawless ad tracking, accurate reporting, and smooth communication with top tier entertainment clients.

You bridge the gap between media buying, analytics, and client servicing. You love solving technical delivery or tracking issues, setting up pixels, running A/B tests, and delivering insights that bring real value to major movie studios and streaming services.

At JustWatch, we value big thinkers and self-starters. Our fast-paced environment offers endless growth opportunities, with new projects and responsibilities arriving regularly. If you thrive on performance and progress, we guarantee the space and support to achieve your ambitions and personal goals.

What you will be doing

What we need from you

• 2+ years of professional experience in digital ad operations or paid online marketing.
• Ad Tech Proficiency: Solid experience with Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, Google Analytics, Tag Managers, and tracking pixels. DV360 and Google Campaign Manager 360 experience is a strong plus.
• Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of ad server mechanics, conversion tracking, attribution models, and troubleshooting creative or tag failures.
• Data-Driven Mindset: Practical experience running A/B tests, analysing campaign delivery data, and working confidently in Excel / Google Sheets.
• Communication & Stakeholder Management: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex data into clear client insights.
• Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with or strong passion for the entertainment industry (film, streaming, TV, gaming, or sports) is a big plus.
• Self-Starter Mentality: Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, remote-first environment across time zones

When not to join

• This is a hands-on execution role
• If you haven’t personally launched and optimized campaigns inside Meta or DV360, it’s not the right fit
• We live in data, love performance, and hire doers

What we offer you

• An open-minded and international team that loves to collaborate to reach our goals.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
• We believe in a permission-less environment that lets us focus on delivering value without overcomplicating things
• We prioritize meaningful work over perks and believe that true fulfilment comes from intrinsic motivation, personal growth, and making a lasting impact
• We trust our skilled professionals to maintain a no-nonsense attitude and create an environment that promotes innovation
• We are committed to helping you achieve your personal and professional goals, and we offer a collaborative and supportive environment to do so
• This opportunity is remote-first with travel to client meetings, with the primary office location in the Los Angeles area (Note: there may be weekly to monthly meetings in person, but aiming always to be remote first)
