What We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for a Programmatic Trader who thrives in the data and wants to understand what’s actually driving performance.

At Delve Deeper, we don’t rely on black-box automation or default platform recommendations. We believe real growth comes from combining Human Ingenuity AI, and applying a disciplined Start / Stop / Scale approach to every dollar spent.

In our pod structure, the Strategist sets direction—but you live in the engine room. You execute, analyze, and uncover the truth behind performance. Your work directly impacts how we allocate budget and drive long-term value.

This is a highly analytical, execution-focused role. You won’t manage client relationships—your focus is on platforms, data, and continuous optimization.

Here’s What You’ll Do:

1. Execute & Optimize (Start / Stop / Scale)

• Actively manage campaigns with a Start / Stop / Scale mindset
• Start new tests based on clear hypotheses and performance gaps
• Stop tactics that dilute marginal ROAS—even if platform metrics look strong
• Scale high-performing audiences, placements, and creative combinations
• Take manual control where automation falls short, using bid adjustments, frequency caps, and targeting controls

2. Work in the Data (“Build Your Own Truth”)

• Export and analyze raw platform data to understand true performance
• Join platform data with CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce, Fuse) to evaluate metrics like pLTV and donor retention
• Build Excel models that uncover what’s actually driving long-term value—not just front-end conversions
• Identify misleading signals (e.g., low-quality conversions, inflated attribution) and correct for them

3. Engineer Tests & Learn at Scale

• Build and manage campaigns designed to test creative and audience hypotheses
• Segment audiences based on behavior and intent—not just demographics
• Structure tests to understand why something works—not just that it works
• Continuously refine campaigns to improve signal quality and learning

4. Monitor Performance & Protect Budget

• Track spend and performance closely to ensure efficient budget allocation
• Identify and eliminate low-value inventory or placements
• Maintain a high level of precision to hit aggressive growth targets without wasted spend

5. Translate Insights into Action

• Go beyond reporting to explain what’s driving performance and what should happen next
• Identify root causes of performance changes and communicate clearly to the Strategist
• Provide concise, actionable updates that support better decision-making

Here’s What You Bring:

• 2–4 years of experience in programmatic, paid media, or a data-heavy analytical role
• Strong analytical skills and a natural curiosity for how systems actually work
• Advanced Excel proficiency (PivotTables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, nested formulas, data cleaning)
• Experience working with large datasets and drawing insights from them
• A high level of attention to detail and strong QA habits
• A structured, hypothesis-driven approach to testing and optimization
• Comfort working independently in a highly execution-focused role
