Job description

Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.

You’ll be the go-to point of contact for your clients across the full campaign lifecycle (planning, audience setup, activation, QA, and reporting), and you’ll partner directly with Sales, Product, and Measurement to drive adoption, performance, and growth. This is a high-ownership role for someone early in their programmatic career who is ready to take direct responsibility for client relationships, campaign outcomes, and account growth.
What You'll Do
Who You AreCurious. Always learning, humble when you don’t know something, and eager to grow into a programmatic expert.
Proactive. You take ownership, anticipate client needs, and move fast to deliver value.
Collaborative. You’re a team player who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
Detail-oriented. You stay organized across multiple clients and tasks and care about getting the small things right.
