Retail Media Ad Operations Specialist

Overview

About the Role

We’re looking for a Retail Media Ad Operations Specialist to join a growing advertising team. In this role, you’ll be hands-on with campaign setup, monitoring, and optimization across leading retail media platforms (Amazon, Walmart Connect, Instacart, Target Roundel, etc.). You’ll make sure our clients’ campaigns launch smoothly, run efficiently, and deliver strong results.

This is a great opportunity for someone with experience in digital campaign management (search, display, social, or programmatic) who wants to specialize in the fast-growing retail media space.

What You’ll Do

• Set up, launch, and QA digital ad campaigns on retail media platforms.
• Monitor campaigns daily for pacing, delivery, and performance.
• Adjust budgets, targeting, and creative placements to drive results.
• Pull and analyze performance data; support both live and post-campaign reporting.
• Work with account managers, creative teams, and product teams to ensure campaigns run smoothly.
• Review creative assets before launch to confirm they meet specs and brand requirements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly when they arise.
• Stay up-to-date with retail media trends and platform updates.

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ years of experience in digital advertising campaign management (paid search, paid social, display, or programmatic).
• Familiarity with retail media platforms (Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, Instacart, Target Roundel, Kroger Precision Marketing) is a plus — but not required if you have transferable experience.
• Comfortable with campaign data and performance metrics, and using insights to optimize campaigns.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• A curious, growth-oriented mindset and eagerness to learn new tools and platforms.

Why Join Us

• Be part of one of the fastest-growing areas of digital advertising.
• Work with leading retail media networks and gain in-demand expertise.
• Join a collaborative, energetic team that values both accuracy and innovation.
• Opportunity to grow into more advanced roles as the retail media ecosystem expands.
