Ad Operations Specialist

Remote

iSpot.tv competes for the best talent. Our compensation packages consist of salary and equity in one of Seattle’s hottest start-ups, as well as other standard benefits. Most importantly, we provide a really interesting working experience, and the chance to contribute to the success of something great.

Responsibilities:

Day to Day Juicer/ Flight Work

  • Sort through all incoming videos from Vivvix/Cops to reject any brands/spots that we currently do not take before pushing accepted ones to our review process to further inspect video quality
  • Review all videos for quality purposes (audio distortion, artifacts, clips of other ads, etc)
  • Ensuring all accepted ads have accurate brands, products, tags, and other meta data
  • Use video editing software for any unacceptable videos where possible through touchups. This includes adding intro cards to animatic tests or other client requests.
  • Maintaining a list of uneditable ads that need to be replaced. Ops uses Spotchop to notify Cops that we have found videos that need replacement and put them through the iSpot replacement process. Ops routinely re-checks the ads on our list to see if they have been replaced and track the progress. 
  • Organizing all accepted ads and maintaining a backlog for testing purposes
  • Arranging ads in flights for daily surveys in a way that balances more entertaining ads with less interesting ones, keeps a variety of industry types in each flight, and maintains an acceptable survey length (keeping ad lengths balanced and as well as extras such as intenders and custom questions)
  • Routine testing of providers for quality purposes
  • Following up with providers and on any surveys that have not closed in a reasonable amount of time.
  • Analyze and process Ace Metrix surveys once they are out of field to remove any spam, bots, or poor data/respondents that would otherwise appear in the UI. CS can request priority ads/flights that need to be done quicker so Ops can jump to the process earlier in the day
  • If any survey has an excess of poor quality responses, investigate the reasoning and negotiate free re-testing with the provider
  • Track and update progress of any pre-tests, client, sales, or marketing requests through Salesforce Ad Test Request page
  • All of the above is also done for our Spanish language and 6 second ads (short) line of businesses
  • Organize all testing for In-Market including organizing the flight, sorting the testing backlog, sending the weekly surveys, tracking survey progress, & processing results.

Custom Requests

  • Building custom questions by client, marketing, or sales request
  • Custom questions can include caboose questions also sent by research for general market research use. Clients, marketing, and sales can also use the caboose to test new questions or gather data for potential target tests
  • Assist CS with all aspects of the target testing process from guiding the request to make sure it’s feasible, bidding the project with various suppliers, advising CS on the best supplier in terms of cost/quality/timing, and programming any screeners for the test when it’s approved.
  • Help CS update any ads or other custom requests they may have.
  • Create new clients, user logins, and groups within our system for tracking purposes, private testing, and to allow for user access to the UI
  • Assist marketing/sales in testing outreach and prospective client ads

And Beyond

  • Maintaining a list of potential new survey providers to possibly use in the future depending on if our ad volume is increasing or a poor quality provider needs to be replaced
  • When a potential provider has been determined, verify their potential by ensuring they meet our quality standards and negotiate a reasonable cpi for our genpop testing. Manage all test flights to build the data needed to create panel weighting for the new provider.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
