CTV & Programmatic Advertising Manager | On-Site

Free Cast is looking for an experienced Streaming Advertising Manager to help connect the world of traditional local television advertising with the rapidly evolving landscape of CTV, streaming, FAST, programmatic advertising, and audience-driven media.

This is more than an ad sales role. You’ll work across the advertising lifecycle—from understanding advertiser and agency needs to campaign setup, targeting, delivery, optimization, quality assurance, measurement, reporting, and ongoing client communication.

We’re looking for someone who understands how advertising works commercially and is comfortable navigating the technology behind modern streaming campaigns. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you should be able to communicate effectively with advertisers, agencies, sales teams, ad-tech partners, data teams, and technical stakeholders.

This is a full-time, on-site position at our Orlando, Florida office.

• Approximately 5+ years of experience across television advertising, CTV/OTT, programmatic advertising, digital video, ad operations, media buying/planning, or a related advertising environment
• Strong understanding of the advertising lifecycle, from advertiser requirements and campaign setup through delivery, optimization, measurement, and reporting
• Experience with local or broadcast television advertising, including exposure to advertisers, agencies, inventory, campaign delivery, or media operations
• Working knowledge of CTV, OTT, streaming, FAST, AVOD, or digital video advertising
• Understanding of programmatic advertising concepts and the relationship between DSPs, SSPs, ad servers, inventory, targeting, trafficking, and measurement
• Experience managing, supporting, or overseeing advertising campaigns from setup through completion
• Ability to monitor campaign performance, identify delivery issues, and coordinate solutions across multiple teams
• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with campaign performance data and advertising KPIs
• Strong client-facing communication skills with the ability to translate technical advertising information into clear business outcomes
• Ability to work cross-functionally with sales, advertising, technology, data, and operational teams
• Strong ownership mentality and comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where processes and technology continue to evolve
• Ability to work full-time on-site at Free Cast’s Orlando office

• Experience working directly with local advertisers and/or advertising agencies
• Experience transitioning traditional television advertising strategies into CTV, OTT, streaming, or programmatic environments
• Hands-on experience with one or more advertising platforms or technologies such as:
  Indi Cue, MNTN, Vibe, Amazon Ads, Google Marketing Platform / Display & Video 360 (DV360)
• Familiarity with SSAI (Server-Side Ad Insertion), VAST (Video Ad Serving Template), and DAI (Dynamic Ad Insertion)
• Experience with CTV ad servers, DSPs, SSPs, trafficking, targeting, and campaign optimization
• Experience with campaign attribution, audience segmentation, or advanced measurement
• Experience using AI-assisted tools for campaign analysis, reporting, audience insights, workflow automation, or optimization
• Experience in streaming, media, television, advertising technology, or another rapidly evolving digital-media environment
• Experience with every platform or technology listed above is not required. We’re more interested in someone who understands the advertising ecosystem and can quickly learn and work across new platforms.

• Help bridge traditional local television advertising with CTV and streaming advertising opportunities
• Work with Free Cast’s sales…
