Director of Programmatic Media

Role Overview:

• Act as the internal authority on how Envision Horizons runs DSP and programmatic across retail media.
• Define the programmatic methodology, build standards, train the function, and keep the agency ahead of platform change.
• Success is measured by the strength and repeatability of the programmatic capability, adoption, and growth in managed ad spend.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Develop best-practice methodology, audience frameworks, benchmarks, and playbooks for programmatic across DSPs.
• Partner with MyHorizons to identify, scope, and test new features, driving adoption and automation across the team.
• Run internal training programs, work with retailer and DSP stakeholders on betas, and evaluate emerging channels.

Scope & Accountability:

• No account ownership or client P&L responsibility; this is a pure internal expert and enablement role.
• KPIs include growth in managed ad spend, adoption of programmatic across the client base, and MyHorizons adoption.
• Serve as senior technical escalation for complex DSP problems, advising strategists rather than taking the keys.

What Sets You Apart:

• Deep, hands-on programmatic expertise with mastery of Amazon DSP and The Trade Desk, and broader ad-tech knowledge.
• Experience building methodology, standards, and internal training programs, plus vetting third-party vendors.
• Working knowledge of clean rooms like Amazon Marketing Cloud and ability to build relationships with retailer stakeholders.
