Pinterest is on a mission to improve the comprehensiveness and shopability of ads on our platform. We’re accomplishing this by expanding our advertising demand sources through partnerships with third-party ad platforms and working closely with Agencies and media companies who manage performance marketing budgets.

As the founding member of the EMEA Programmatic Technical Operations team, you will drive the success of Pinterest’s programmatic ad products by serving as the primary client contact for deal creation, campaign setup, and launches. You’ll troubleshoot technical issues, optimize campaigns for performance, and collaborate closely with cross functional teams to elevate client outcomes and enhance internal processes.

What you'll do:

• Act as a key point of contact for clients, supporting programmatic deal creation, campaign setup, and ensuring smooth campaign launches.
• Diagnose and resolve technical issues, monitor campaign performance, and proactively optimize to achieve client goals and address problems quickly.
• Partner with internal teams (Sales, Product, Engineering) to communicate client needs, share best practices, and contribute to ongoing process improvements.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of experience in brand or performance advertising within a fast growing tech company.
• Understanding of programmatic advertising platforms (DSPs, SSPs), deal types (PMP, PG, open auction), and related technologies.
• Hands-on experience with programmatic campaign setup, optimization, troubleshooting, and performance analysis.
• Familiarity with ad servers, tag management, data integrations, and measurement/attribution tools (e.g., Google Ad Manager, DV360, The Trade Desk).
• Ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues related to campaign execution (e.g., creative specs, data flows, latency, tracking, troubleshooting discrepancies).
• Bachelor’s degree in business, advertising or marketing, a related field or equivalent experience

In-Office Requirement Statement:

• We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection.
• This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1-2 times a week, and therefore the successful candidate will ideally live in or within a reasonable commute of London.

Relocation Statement:

• This position is not eligible for relocation assistance. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model.
