Supply Operations Manager

You're joining the Supply team at the foundation stage as one of the first operational hires on a team being built from scratch. You'll own the operational core of how Vibe's supply function runs: deal management, inventory quality, SSP relationships, creative compliance, and cross-team coordination. Three reasons to want this: you'll work on capabilities that don't exist elsewhere in the market; your work directly shapes our publisher development roadmap as it's being built; and this role is explicitly designed to evolve to stay at the forefront of innovation. Vibe's operational layer will be increasingly automated, and we want to find someone who sees that as an opportunity to grow with us as we scale.

Deal Management

• Own the full deal lifecycle from new deal setup and spend monitoring to deals management across all our active publisher relationships
• Troubleshoot delivery issues end-to-end, digging until you find the answer
• Execute auction-level optimization and monitoring, using SQL to surface delivery patterns and anomalies

SSP Management & Inventory Control

• Own inventory quality control, identifying and resolving issues before they impact campaign performance
• Run key metrics reporting and volume-matching queries that keep publisher and internal teams in sync

Creative Compliance

• Manage creative compliance processes, ensuring our publisher inventory meets publisher standards
• Coordinate with internal teams to resolve compliance issues quickly and systematically

Cross-Team Coordination

• Serve as the primary point of contact for CSM and Account Management on questions related to our inventory
• Manage the Supply triage incoming requests from across the organization
• Build internal enablement materials so other teams can self-serve on supply questions over time
• Partner with engineers on automation initiatives to incorporate the use of AI

What You Need

• 35+ years in programmatic advertising, with hands-on experience across the DSP/SSP ecosystem
• Strong SQL skills. You can run your own queries, build your own analyses, and don't need to wait for a data team
• Proven experience managing relationships with large publishers or media organizations. You understand their org structures and how decisions get made
• Ability to move fluidly between technical depth and clear communication. You can diagnose a deal delivery issue and explain it to a non-technical stakeholder in the same conversation
• Genuine curiosity about where the CTV landscape is heading, including how AI and automation will change this role, and excitement about what that means for your own career growth trajectory within Vibe

Nice to Haves

• Experience troubleshooting deal IDs and technical delivery issues in a live environment
• Familiarity with CTV or streaming platforms, either on the publisher or buyer side
• Experience with Looker, Imply, or AWS for SQL-based data work
• Background working directly with SSPs or in a supply-side role
