Publisher Operations Manager

Location: Overwolfs lair (IL)

Experience Level: Intermediate

Description

Were on the hunt for a technically fluent Publisher Operations Manager to own the health and performance of the Overwolf Ads publisher portfolio.

As our Yield Guardian, youll monitor publisher activities end-to-end, run network-wide investigations, and work across Demand Ops and Publisher Success to turn performance gaps into solved problems. Youll use AI as a co-pilot and bring the judgment the tools cant: knowing what to look for, what it means, and what to do about it.

So if you spot anomalies before the dashboard does, thrive untangling complex programmatic workflows, and genuinely want to improve the experience of every publisher in the portfolio - this quest is yours.

Responsibilities

• Monitor and optimize the health of assigned publisher activity (bidder publishers or Nitro publishers) proactively, not reactively
• Run network-level optimization investigations, including success rate optimization, and own the implementation of findings
• Identify gaps in publisher or network performance and drive them to resolution end-to-end
• Serve as the operations point of contact for Demand Ops and Publisher Success on cross-functional publisher issues
• Use AI tooling to surface anomalies, identify patterns, and accelerate analysis
• Manage and optimize SSP and GAM configurations to improve publisher yield

Requirements

• 1-3 years of experience in ad tech operations: publisher operations, programmatic operations, or yield management
• Hands-on experience with SSPs and Google Ad Manager (GAM)
• Technically fluent: you understand how ad systems and complex programmatic workflows connect, without being a developer
• Strong problem-solving instincts: move from symptom to root cause, not from symptom to escalation
• Passion for gaming and gaming culture

Bonus Points:

• Experience with bidder management or direct publisher-side relationships
• Familiarity with analytics tooling and internal platform workflows
