You will help improve processes and tools in order to facilitate better day-to-day operations and efficiencies for our sales team.

- Ad campaign trafficking and optimization: Partner with Ad Operations to manage direct ad campaigns via internal planning tools and ad-server, including proper ticketing, set-up, scheduling, daily pacing and complete delivery based on Insertion Order parameters.
- Measurement and reporting: Build regular campaign reports and wrap reports, share insights with advertisers and internal teams, and support measurement studies where applicable.
- Billing: Coordinate with Lyft Billing at the end of each billing cycle on campaign totals and ensure invoices are generated and delivered to our advertising partners.
- Client relationships: Join the Account Executive in client and agency meetings to start building relationships, with the opportunity to take a bigger role in client conversations over time.
- Product knowledge: Learn and eventually become an expert in the full Lyft Ads product suite as well as targeting and measurement capabilities.

Experience:

- BA/BS degree and 2+ years of experience in digital advertising sales, media planning or campaign management.
- Proficient in Google Suite products, particularly Google Sheets and Drive.
- Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.
- Exhibits outstanding attention to detail.
- Excels at multitasking and is comfortable managing several campaigns throughout the ad life cycle at once.
- Strong analytical and strategic thinking, with the ability to turn data into clear recommendations for sales teams and clients.
- Consistently self-motivated and proactive in finding new solutions before being asked.
- Exposure to ad serving solutions is a plus.

Benefits:

- Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options with additional programs available when enrolled
- Mental health benefits
- Family building benefits
- Child care and pet benefits
- 401(k) plan with company match to help save for your future
