Role Overview

The Ad Ops Manager owns the execution of advertising campaigns across podcasts, YouTube, and digital platforms including Impact Theory, Women of Impact, Love Theory and Mayim Bialik's Breakdown. You'll coordinate campaign setup, creative delivery, QA, reporting, and billing verification to ensure every campaign launches on time and delivers in full.

If you've run complex workflows, managed deadlines across multiple teams, and built repeatable processes, you can succeed here even without prior ad ops experience.

Quality Control and Compliance

• Ensure all paid placements, host reads, and integrations meet FTC and platform guidelines.
• Identify issues early, resolve quickly, and improve processes to prevent repeat errors.

Operations and Reporting

• Maintain tracking systems (Monday boards and internal docs) to monitor delivery and campaign status.
• Produce weekly and end-of-campaign reporting with key metrics, risks, and recommendations.
• Monitor delivery and performance trends, resolve discrepancies, and recommend adjustments in coordination with Production and Partnerships.
• Build and maintain simple dashboards that make delivery and performance easy to track.

Billing and Delivery Verification

• Lead monthly billing reconciliation, delivery verification, and advertiser documentation.
• Partner with Finance to ensure accurate records, clean reporting, and smooth invoicing support.

Cross-Functional Alignment

• Act as the primary escalation point for internal teams and external partners on ad operations issues.
• Drive alignment between Partnerships, Production, and Finance on delivery requirements, timelines, and standards.
