You'll turn raw programmatic data into decisions: which publishers to onboard, where revenue is leaking, which levers move yield, and what our commercial teams should do next. This is a high-ownership role with direct, measurable impact on revenue. You'll work daily with Business Development, Operations, and Demand, and you'll build deep expertise in the programmatic supply chain - SSPs, DSPs, header bidding, ads.txt - from day one. If you want to become genuinely fluent in ad tech data, there are few faster ways to do it., Analysis & insight * Analyze prospective publishers: size the revenue opportunity, model expected yield, and pressure-test assumptions before we commit * Run deep-dive analyses on portfolio performance - yield by placement, format, geo, device, and demand partner - and translate findings into concrete recommendations * Build and maintain the metrics that define how we measure success, and defend their definitions when they're questioned * Identify patterns across publishers that others miss: seasonality, demand-partner behavior, bid-density shifts, traffic-quality signals Performance monitoring & optimization * Monitor daily performance across the portfolio (impressions, fill rate, CPM, CTR, viewability, revenue) against targets * Catch underperformance early, diagnose root causes with data rather than intuition, and make or recommend the adjustments that fix it * Troubleshoot delivery and discrepancy issues with internal teams and external partners, tracing numbers back through the stack to find where they diverge Publisher onboarding, technical integration and account operations * Support technical setup of new publishers: ads.txt, ad tags, header bidding configuration, and QA before go-live * Assist the Business Development team with new-publisher onboarding and keep the new-business pipeline data accurate and up to date in our CRM * Support adoption of our sales tools and processes across the region Data quality & reporting * Own the integrity of our reporting layer: audit dashboards and data sources regularly, reconcile discrepancies between platforms, and escalate anomalies fast * Automate recurring reporting so the team spends its time on decisions, not on assembling spreadsheets * Produce clear, accurate performance reporting for publishers and internal stakeholders - and make sure the story the numbers tell is the right one * Surface insights and trends that feed commercial and product decisions Onboarding & technical integration * Support the technical setup of new publishers: ads.txt, ad tags, header bidding configuration, and QA before go-live * Work with Business Development on new-publisher onboarding, and keep pipeline data accurate and current in our CRM ## Related Videos - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [Launching a marketplace on-time: A lesson in taking shortcuts using spreadsheets!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/477-launching-a-marketplace-on-time-a-lesson-in-taking-shortcuts-using-spreadsheets) - [One Platform Could Not Fit Them All](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1919-one-platform-could-not-fit-them-all) - [Recruitment Reinvented: Bold strategies and the $10K signing incentive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1068-recruitment-reinvented-bold-strategies-and-the-10k-signing-incentive) - [How Data is Shaping our Games](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/176-how-data-is-shaping-our-games) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [Spanish Business Culture and Etiquette](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/353-spanish-business-culture-and-etiquette) - [Data Analyst Salary Austria](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/275-data-analyst-salary-austria) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market)
