What We Do 

The CS Centre of Excellence is a specialised EMEA function that provides scalable operational support to our regional trading teams. While pod traders focus on strategic client consultation, relationship management, and revenue growth, the Centre of Excellence team handles tactical execution, technical troubleshooting, and operational delivery across all EMEA markets. 

As the operational backbone for EMEA trading, this team executes managed service campaigns and provides operational support for self-serve clients - including troubleshooting, pacing diagnosis, technical QA, and analytical reporting. While this role is primarily internal-facing, serving pod traders across 8 markets (London, Hamburg, Paris, Madrid, Milan, Nordics, MENA, Netherlands) as your key stakeholders, client-facing engagement may be required as business needs dictate.

  • Run managed service campaigns, from setup to post-campaign analysis. Including troubleshooting, optimisation etc.  
  • Explain platform behavior and limitations in clear, actionable language 
  • Research new platform features and translate capabilities for trader use 
  • Own 1-2 primary markets, serving as go-to expert 
  • Build deep knowledge of market-specific supply landscape, regional compliance (GDPR), and local SSP requirements 
  • Develop strong working relationships with pod traders in your markets 
  • Utilize Excel and other advanced analytics tools, such as Tableau or Power BI, to analyse large sets of data and create actionable insights 
  • Embed into account teams as needed to provide expert trading support during periods of increased demand, transitions, or strategic initiatives. 

 

Who You Are 

  • 2+ years in programmatic trading, ad tech, or related technical roles 
  • Comfortable with stakeholder management and day to day communication 
  • Strong ability to communicate complex topics to stakeholders 
  • Effective time management skills with the ability to prioritistrader asks as well as long term projects 
  • Strong quantitative skills using tools such as MS Excel, Vertica and Power BI 
  • Ability to collaborate across multiple teams and internal stakeholders as well as work independently on daily tasks 
  • English fluency required 
  • Additional European languages (German, French, Spanish, Italian) preferred
