Lead hands-on-keys execution, pacing, and optimization across core biddable channels, with a primary focus on Programmatic DSPs (specifically DV360) and Paid Social (Meta), alongside video and retail media platforms.

Support your clients and vendors; track, escalate, and solve client issues related to media performance, inventory, and retail readiness.

Partner with clients to understand their business goals, e-commerce/marketing objectives, and competitive constraints within the retail media landscape.

Work closely with your Manager and other Kepler team members to design and execute sophisticated, full-funnel media programs that deliver breakthrough client results.

Execute and monitor all aspects of campaign setup, pacing, and optimization; measure performance using sophisticated data analysis and retail metrics (e.g., ROAS, New-to-Brand, glance views).

Contribute to weekly, monthly, and annual client insights and strategy reports; leverage data from Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) and other clean rooms to contribute to ongoing program analysis and closed-loop measurement.

Kepler’s Activation team is made up of forward-thinking media traders, with ad platform optimization expertise across biddable media channels (including social, SEM, video/Advanced TV, and programmatic DSP media: audio, DOOH, native, display, etc.) and a keen sense of macro marketing, data policy, and technology trends.

This team is not simply a trading desk - you are a strategic biddable media expert, who will be client-facing, partner-facing, and seen as an internal expert for brainstorming future-proof ad tech solutions that drive client value and solve/automate internal workflow challenges.
