________________________
Hello👋I am Willian, Trading and Analytics Lead at Kayzen, and I am now looking for a Senior Programmatic Trader to join our team 🙌
About Kayzen

We enable leading apps, agencies, media buyers, and brands to run programmatic customer acquisition, retargeting, and brand performance campaigns through our self-serve and managed service options.

The Team
The Trading team is responsible for creating growth through the management and optimization of mobile performance advertising campaigns for clients utilizing the managed service offering. The goal of the team is to deliver on the client's objectives through established or new trading best practices and communicate account status regularly and effectively with their CSM counterparts.
Why this role
In this role, you will own and grow a portfolio of mobile programmatic campaigns (UA/RT) across verticals including gaming, fintech, betting, and CTV, delivering CPA/ROAS targets while scaling FCT and protecting contribution margin. You'll pair deep trading skills with analytics (SQL must have / Python desirable. What matters most: the analytical instinct to ask the right questions and the resourcefulness to find answers, whether through code or AI tools) and LLM-accelerated workflows to move faster than a traditional desk. You won't just optimize campaigns, you'll shape the tools, analytical frameworks, and trading playbooks the team uses to win.
What you’ll do
Trading excellence
- Own end-to-end campaign delivery across multiple advertisers; hit KPI targets (CPA, ROAS, retention) and scale when unit economics allow.
- Develop audience targeting strategies and supply-side optimization (audience, publisher selection, bid shading, dayparting) across ad formats (banner, video, native, CTV) to unlock incremental scale.
