You know platform reporting is only part of the picture, and you’re comfortable using raw data and spreadsheets to understand performance more fully.\n\nLocation:\nLouisville, Colorado; candidates based outside Colorado will also be considered\n\nHere’s What You’ll Do:\nOptimize and Trade Programmatic Media\n\nManage day-to-day campaign execution and optimization across programmatic platforms.\n\nApply the Start / Stop / Scale approach: stop tactics that are not contributing to meaningful results, scale those that are, and launch new tests based on clear hypotheses.\n\nAdjust campaign settings, bids, budgets, frequency, placements, and other controls to improve performance and manage delivery.\n\nIdentify and address low-quality inventory, inefficient spend, and tactics that produce inexpensive but low-value conversions.\n\nMonitor pacing and budgets closely, making timely adjustments to support campaign goals.\n\nBuild and Evaluate Tests\n\nSet up and manage tests across audiences, creative, inventory, and other campaign variables.\n\nUse campaign results to understand which audiences and messages are generating meaningful engagement and donor actions.\n\nLook beyond demographic assumptions to identify behavioral signals that can inform audience strategy.\n\nKeep campaign structures and naming conventions organized so results can be reviewed and compared accurately.\n\nFind the Full Performance Picture\n\nExport and analyze campaign data, then compare platform results with available client CRM and backend data.\n\nUse Excel to organize, join, and assess data so the team can better understand donor quality, recurring donor retention, and predicted lifetime value (pLTV).\n\nInvestigate when platform metrics and backend outcomes do not tell the same story.\n\nLook beyond front-end metrics like impressions, clicks, and platform-reported conversions to understand whether campaigns are contributing to qualified, incremental donors and long-term value.\n\nMaintain accurate campaign records and check your work carefully.\n\nGive the Strategist Clear, Useful Insights\n\nExplain what is driving changes in performance, including increases in costs such as Cost per New Sustainer.\n\nShare concise findings and recommended actions with the Programmatic Strategist, including the tradeoffs behind optimization decisions.\n\nProvide the context the Strategist needs to communicate campaign decisions and results to clients.\n\nFlag risks, unusual results, and opportunities early.\n\nHere’s What You Bring:\n\nHands-on experience managing and optimizing programmatic campaigns.\n\nExperience with one or more programmatic platforms, such as DV360, The Trade Desk, or Amazon DSP.\n\nStrong Excel skills, including PivotTables, lookups such as VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP, nested formulas, and data cleanup or reshaping.\n\nThe ability to analyze detailed performance data and explain what it means in practical terms.\n\nA careful, detail-oriented approach to campaign setup, pacing, naming conventions, and quality assurance.\n\nCuriosity and persistence when results do not make sense; you’re willing to dig into the data before drawing a conclusion.\n\nComfort working behind the scenes and partnering closely with a Strategist rather than owning client relationships.\n\nAn interest in nonprofit or mission-driven work and the role effective media can play in supporting it.\n\nHow Success Is Measured:\n\nCampaign budgets are managed carefully and aligned with agreed goals.\n\nOptimization decisions are timely, well supported by data, and focused on meaningful outcomes.\n\nTests are structured to produce useful insights that inform future media decisions.\n\nPlatform reporting is considered alongside available CRM and backend results.\n\nThe Strategist receives clear, actionable analysis and context.\n\nCampaign setup, reporting, and documentation are accurate and reliable.\n\nCompensation:\nThe salary range for this role is $60,000 to $100,000. The final offer will reflect the candidate’s experience, skill set, and level of responsibility.\n\nWhat Delve Deeper Offers\n\nCompany-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their families.\n\nA 401(k) plan with a 4% company match.\n\nPaid time off and company holidays.\n\nUp to three months of paid parental leave.\n\nA $1,250 annual wellness reimbursement.\n\nA hybrid work model, with Tuesdays through Thursdays in the office and Mondays and Fridays remote.\n\nA collaborative team that values curiosity, growth, coachability, and focused work.\n\nDelve Deeper is an equal opportunity employer.
