Chicago, IL Contractor
POSTED ON 4/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/15/2026

About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on Amazon DSP expert to support the launch and management of our first wave of Amazon DSP clients. You will serve as the execution lead during our Alpha phase, working directly with our Smart Services team to ensure flawless campaign delivery while helping us build the internal processes and documentation needed to scale.

This is a client-facing, highly collaborative role where you'll be both a doer and a teacher.

What You'll Do:

  • Own campaign execution across PG (Programmatic Guaranteed) and auction/performance campaigns: including setup, QA, pacing, troubleshooting, and optimization

  • Act as the client facing DSP lead for early implementations, supporting communications and strategic guidance on campaign performance

  • Build the playbook: develop SOPs, setup checklists, safety controls, workflow documentation, and reporting templates for repeatable use by the internal team

  • Train Smart Services through live work and structured knowledge transfer sessions

  • Quantify lift: track and document time/effort across campaign types to help establish benchmark models distinguishing PG vs. auction/performance support needs

What We're Looking For:

  • 3 years of hands-on Amazon DSP experience, with demonstrated expertise in both CTV/Programmatic Guaranteed and auction/performance buying

  • Proven ability to manage and troubleshoot live campaigns with high spend accountability

  • Strong client communication skills and comfortable presenting and advising directly with brand partners

  • Experience building SOPs or training teams is a strong plus

  • Ability to start immediately and operate with minimal ramp time

Perks & Benefits…

  • Five weeks paid time off (PTO), 11 company paid holidays, unlimited sick days
  • Generous healthcare packages & mental health benefits
  • Monthly wellness benefit and learning reimbursement opportunities 
  • 401K plus matching & equity grants for all new Smartlies
  • Volunteer time off days & company donation matching opportunities 
  • Choice of computer (MAC or PC)
  • And so much more… 

The base pay range for this position is as mentioned below per year, plus annual bonus. We take into consideration an individual’s background, expertise, and experience in determining final salary. In addition to annual salary, Smartly’s total rewards provide employees with stock options, medical/dental/vision insurance, retirement savings benefits, parental leave, 5 weeks vacation, unlimited sick days, life insurance and disability benefits.
