The Technical Account Manager, Programmatic is a senior individual contributor role responsible for owning the full technical layer between GSTV's programmatic inventory and its demand-side partners. This role sits above media operations — handling everything that requires deep platform knowledge, cross-system troubleshooting,
and demand partner enablement. You will lead the technical onboarding of new DSP and SSP integrations, support pre-sale scoping for complex programmatic campaigns, troubleshoot delivery and pacing issues that media operations cannot resolve, and serve as the internal expert on deal configuration, auction mechanics, and programmatic supply path optimization. You will own the technical relationship with GSTV's demand and supply
partners, operating with minimal oversight in a fast-moving environment.
This role works across the Revenue organization and serves as the primary programmatic technical interface with Team TPM — specifically Engineering, Data Engineering, and the Programmatic team. You will regularly partner with Sales on technical scoping, with Product on platform capability roadmap input, and with Data Engineering on the signals and reporting that inform yield and delivery outcomes. You are the bridge between what the business is selling and what technology can deliver.
Responsibilities:
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
· Own end-to-end programmatic execution, including campaign setup, deal configuration, inventory packaging, and auction mechanics for complex campaigns, while ensuring technical feasibility during pre-sale and alignment with client objectives
· Manage and grow DSP, SSP, and agency partner relationships, leading technical onboarding, integration setup, and ongoing collaboration to ensure seamless activation and performance
· Monitor and optimize programmatic performance and yield by analyzing auction dynamics, bid loss data, and delivery metrics, proactively identifying revenue leakage and implementing strategies to maximize CPMs, fill rates, and overall inventory value
· Diagnose and resolve campaign and supply path issues, while identifying systemic patterns and driving operational or platform improvements to prevent recurrence
· Translate audience insights into scalable first-party data solutions by building, activating, and refining addressable programmatic segments to improve targeting, match rates, and monetization
· Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Product to develop and package programmatic offerings, support go-to-market strategies, and contribute technical input to roadmap development based on market needs and platform capabilities
· Ensure data and reporting integrity in collaboration with Data Engineering, delivering accurate, actionable insights for internal teams and external partners
· Serve as a programmatic subject matter expert by documenting processes, educating cross-functional teams, and staying ahead of industry trends to strengthen internal capabilities and inform strategy
· Other duties as assigned.
Your success will be measured by:
· Demand partners are onboarded efficiently, and campaigns launch without technical friction
· Programmatic delivery issues are diagnosed and resolved faster than media operations can escalate
