Role Description

Kevel is looking for a detail-oriented Ad Operations & Yield Manager to join our team and work directly with our retail partners and their supplier communities. In this individual contributor role, you will be the operational engine behind retailer-run media programs built on Kevel:

• Owning campaign execution, inventory monetization, and performance reporting on behalf of the retailers we serve.
• Sitting at the center of a three-sided relationship: Kevel as the platform provider, our retail partners as the network operators, and their supplier advertisers as the demand side.
• Translating platform capabilities into real results for both retailers and the brands buying their media.

Qualifications

• 3 to 7 years of experience in ad operations, yield management, or a closely related role at a digital media company, ad tech platform, or retail media network.
• Hands-on experience with ad servers and retail media platforms.
• Proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets; experience with BI tools (Looker, Tableau, or similar) a plus.
• Retail media experience (on-site sponsored products, display, or off-site) strongly preferred; familiarity with the retailer/supplier dynamic is a significant advantage.
• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills; comfortable managing multiple campaigns across multiple retailer accounts simultaneously.
• Clear communicator who can adapt their style depending on the audience.
• Hands-on experience with actual analysis tasks, ideally recent, leveraging modern AI tools.
• Experience driving better results for sales and operations teams, demonstrating accountability in yield management.
• SQL or basic scripting experience is a plus but not required.
• A mindset of being AI and automation-first, constantly seeking ways to leverage technology to streamline tasks and improve efficiency.

Requirements

• Own end-to-end campaign trafficking for supplier-funded campaigns running across Kevel-powered retailer networks.
• QA all creative assets and targeting parameters to ensure campaigns launch accurately and on schedule.
• Monitor in-flight delivery daily across multiple retailer accounts; proactively flag and resolve pacing issues.
• Maintain and refine trafficking templates, naming conventions, and ops documentation.
• Support retailer partners in forecasting and managing ad inventory availability.
• Identify yield optimization opportunities including floor price adjustments and demand prioritization.
• Partner with Kevel’s Product and Engineering teams on ad server configuration and new inventory formats.
• Build, maintain, and distribute recurring campaign performance reports for retailer stakeholders.
• Conduct post-campaign analysis and translate insights into actionable recommendations.
• Serve as the day-to-day operational contact for retailer partners and their supplier advertisers.
• Support retailer onboarding onto the Kevel platform and help establish repeatable operational processes.
• Contribute to the development of enablement materials and best practice guides.
