About Wunderkind:
Wunderkind Ads creates high-impact advertising experiences across premium publisher inventory, delivering ads at moments designed to maximize consumer attention without disrupting content consumption.
Our proprietary technology is integrated directly with publisher partners to create net-new advertising opportunities across display, video, and Connected TV (CTV). As we continue to scale our programmatic business, ensuring campaigns launch, ramp, and deliver successfully across an increasingly complex ecosystem is critical to our growth.
About the Role:
Wunderkind is seeking a highly technical and solutions-oriented Senior Manager, Programmatic Technical Solutions to join our Ads organization.
This role will serve as a key technical escalation point for programmatic campaign and deal delivery, responsible for diagnosing and resolving complex issues across DSPs, SSPs, publishers, and Wunderkind's advertising technology.
When a campaign or deal ID isn't spending as expected, this person will own figuring out why and driving the issue through resolution.
The ideal candidate understands how programmatic transactions work end-to-end and is comfortable getting deep into campaign, platform, bidstream, and log-level data to determine where a transaction is breaking down. You'll work across advertisers, agencies, DSPs, SSPs, publishers, and Wunderkind's internal Sales, Account Management, Operations, Product, and Engineering teams.
This is a hands-on technical role for someone who enjoys solving complex problems and understands how programmatic advertising works under the hood.
This is a hybrid role based in our New York office.
Key Responsibilities
- Technical Troubleshooting: Serve as a key technical escalation point for display, video, and Connected TV (CTV) campaigns and deal IDs that are not bidding, winning, ramping, or spending as expected.
- Deal Activation & Delivery: Troubleshoot PMP and Programmatic Guaranteed deals across deal configuration, targeting, creative approvals, pricing, inventory eligibility, CPM floors, frequency, and buyer-side setup.
- Cross-Format Campaign Troubleshooting: Diagnose campaign delivery issues across display, video, and CTV, understanding the unique technical requirements, buying workflows, creative specifications, and supply paths associated with each format.
- Proactive Bidstream Analysis: Analyze bid requests, bid responses, win rates, bid density, fill rates, CPMs, and other platform data to identify where opportunities are being lost. Proactively monitoring campaign/deal health so we're identifying delivery risk before it becomes a larger revenue issue.
