Responsibilities:

Programmatic Traffic Management

  • Manage and optimise multi-market programmatic traffic operations across publisher networks.
  • Monitor, adjust, and allocate CPC’s & budgets to maximise ROI and margin across diverse traffic sources and job inventories.
  • Use performance data and industry knowledge to make daily decisions on bid levels, budget splits, segmentations and prioritisation across partners.

Strategic Development

  • Support in shaping strategy for arbitrage growth across markets, working with Senior Performance Director to align on goals, investment areas, and KPIs.
  • Identify and develop new programmatic or partnership opportunities.
  • Act as a key contributor to long-term evolution from manual to automated arbitrage models.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with product and engineering teams to shape feed integrations and automation tools (experience in this area is a bonus).
  • Work closely with sales and account teams to align publisher traffic with client objectives.
  • Collaborate with analytics and finance to report on performance and margins accurately.

Leadership & Team Enablement

  • Mentor and guide more junior team members in operations.
  • Contribute to a culture of automation, ownership, curiosity, and proactive problem solving.

What we’re looking for:

  • Ideally 4+ years in performance marketing, programmatic media buying, ad tech, or arbitrage-based business models.
  • Strong commercial mindset and experience managing CPC budgets at scale.
  • Proven track record of improving margin and ROI through data-led traffic optimisation.
  • Comfortable working in environments that require judgement, rapid iteration, and navigating ambiguity.
  • Experience working with feeds, integrations, or ad tech platforms preferred (not essential).
  • Exposure to US job board or recruitment tech ecosystem is a plus.
