Who we need
We are looking for a detail-oriented, analytical, and proactive Ad Ops Manager to join our team in Los Angeles. You will be the technical and operational backbone of our media campaigns, ensuring seamless campaign setups, flawless ad tracking, accurate reporting, and smooth communication with top tier entertainment clients.
 
You bridge the gap between media buying, analytics, and client servicing. You love solving technical delivery or tracking issues, setting up pixels, running A/B tests, and delivering insights that bring real value to major movie studios and streaming services.
 
At JustWatch, we value big thinkers and self-starters. Our fast-paced environment offers endless growth opportunities, with new projects and responsibilities arriving regularly. If you thrive on performance and progress, we guarantee the space and support to achieve your ambitions and personal goals.

What you will be doing

  • Campaign Setup & QA: Independently set up, monitor, and optimise digital media campaigns across YouTube, Meta (Facebook / Instagram), TikTok, and programmatic platforms for major movies, series, and entertainment titles.

  • Tracking & Ad Tech: Manage ad tracking, pixel implementations, conversion setup, and troubleshoot tracking or creative disapproval issues swiftly.

  • Reporting & Client Insights: Create comprehensive proposals, post-buy recaps, and data-driven campaign reports that deliver actionable insights to streaming providers, film studios, and media agencies.

  • Testing & Optimisation: Develop and execute A/B tests, audience segmentations, and creative testing strategies to continually push campaign performance.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with campaign managers, BI, sales, and external agency partners to ensure flawless campaign execution and seamless data flow.

  • Market & Audience Research: Conduct market research and audience sentiment analyses to help evaluate title potential ahead of release dates.

What we need from you

  • 2+ years of professional experience in digital ad operations or paid online marketing.

  • Ad Tech Proficiency: Solid experience with Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, Google Analytics, Tag Managers, and tracking pixels. DV360 and Google Campaign Manager 360 experience is a strong plus.

  • Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of ad server mechanics, conversion tracking, attribution models, and troubleshooting creative or tag failures.

  • Data-Driven Mindset: Practical experience running A/B tests, analysing campaign delivery data, and working confidently in Excel / Google Sheets.

  • Communication & Stakeholder Management: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex data into clear client insights.

  • Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with or strong passion for the entertainment industry (film, streaming, TV, gaming, or sports) is a big plus.

  • Self-Starter Mentality: Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, remote-first environment across time zones

When not to join

  • This is a hands-on execution role
  • If you haven’t personally launched and optimized campaigns inside Meta or DV360, it’s not the right fit
  • We live in data, love performance, and hire doers

What we offer you

  • An open-minded and international team that loves to collaborate to reach our goals.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
  • We believe in a permission-less environment that lets us focus on delivering value without overcomplicating things
  • We prioritize meaningful work over perks and believe that true fulfilment comes from intrinsic motivation, personal growth, and making a lasting impact
  • We trust our skilled professionals to maintain a no-nonsense attitude and create an environment that promotes innovation
  • We are committed to helping you achieve your personal and professional goals, and we offer a collaborative and supportive environment to do so
  • This opportunity is remote-first with travel to client meetings, with the primary office location in the Los Angeles area (Note: there may be weekly to monthly meetings in person, but aiming always to be remote first)

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
