Sr. Programmatic Tech Operations Specialist

Pinterest is on a mission to improve the comprehensiveness and shoppability of ads on our platform. We’re accomplishing this by expanding our advertising demand sources through partnerships with third-party ad platforms and working closely with Agencies and media companies who manage performance marketing budgets.

As a member of the Programmatic Technical Operations team, you will drive the success of Pinterest’s programmatic ad products by serving as the primary client contact for deal creation, campaign setup, and launches. You’ll troubleshoot technical issues, optimize campaigns for performance, and collaborate closely with cross functional teams to elevate client outcomes and enhance internal processes.

What you'll do:

• Act as a key point of contact for clients, supporting programmatic deal creation, campaign setup, and ensuring smooth campaign launches.


• Diagnose and resolve technical issues, monitor campaign performance, and proactively optimize to achieve client goals and address problems quickly.


• Partner with internal teams (Sales, Product, Engineering) to communicate client needs, share best practices, and contribute to ongoing process improvements.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of experience in brand or performance advertising within a fast growing tech company.


• Understanding of programmatic advertising platforms (DSPs, SSPs), deal types (PMP, PG, open auction), and related technologies.


• Hands-on experience with programmatic campaign setup, optimization, troubleshooting, and performance analysis.


• Familiarity with ad servers, tag management, data integrations, and measurement/attribution tools (e.g., Google Ad Manager, DV360, The Trade Desk).


• Ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues related to campaign execution (e.g., creative specs, data flows, latency, tracking, troubleshooting discrepancies).


• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as digital media or sales, or equivalent professional experience. 

• This position is not eligible for relocation assistance. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model.
  
  

• We recognize that the ideal environment for work is situational and may differ across departments. What this looks like day-to-day can vary based on the needs of each organization or role.


• This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 2 times per week and therefore needs to be in a commutable distance from our Chicago or New York Offices.
