Ad Operations Specialist Google Ad Manager / Publisher-Side

Ludus Ent is a music & entertainment-driven commerce company. We operate the advertising business for one of Thailand's leading music streaming platforms — managing ad inventory, campaign delivery, and monetization end to end — alongside our event sponsorship and entertainment marketing businesses.

We're looking for an Ad Operations Specialist to own campaign delivery on a leading music streaming app. This is a publisher-side (sell-side) ad operations role: you'll manage the platform's ad inventory, traffic and deliver campaigns through the ad server, and operate programmatic demand — acting as the technical bridge between our sales team, agencies, and the platform's international HQ engineering team.

Please read before applying: This is NOT a media buying / performance marketing role. Experience running campaigns in Google Ads, Meta Ads, or TikTok Ads does not qualify for this position. We need hands-on experience with Google Ad Manager (GAM) — the publisher ad server — or an equivalent sell-side platform. These are different products, and this distinction is the first thing we screen for.

You'll report directly to our Ad Operations Lead. This is a hands-on, mid-level role — you don't need a management title, but real publisher-side ad ops experience is essential.

• Inventory Management — Monitor, forecast, and manage in-app ad inventory (audio, splash screen, banner, and video formats) to prevent overlapping bookings and maximize sell-through
• Campaign Trafficking & Delivery — Set up, traffic, and launch direct-sold campaigns in the ad server; pace daily delivery targets against client KPIs
• Programmatic Operations — Operate the programmatic side of monetization: deal setup and troubleshooting across PG, PD, and Open Auction; manage SSP/exchange connections and demand partners
• Creative QA & Troubleshooting — Review creative specs from agencies; investigate and resolve technical issues and discrepancies with third-party tracking partners
• Cross-functional Coordination — Advise the sales team on technical feasibility, and coordinate in English with the platform's international HQ team

Must have:

• 2–4 years of hands-on experience in publisher-side Ad Operations / ad trafficking — operating Google Ad Manager (GAM) or an equivalent publisher ad server / SSP (not Google Ads or other buy-side platforms)
• Working knowledge of programmatic operations from the sell side — deal types (PG, PD, OA), how SSPs and exchanges work, and how to troubleshoot delivery and discrepancy issues
• Solid understanding of direct-sold mechanics (CPM, Cost Per Day, sponsorship) alongside programmatic
• High attention to detail, comfortable with numbers, and calm under pressure when troubleshooting live campaigns
• Good written and spoken English — you'll use English-language back-end systems and coordinate with an international HQ team regularly — plus native Thai for day-to-day work with Thai agencies and clients

Nice to have:

• Experience with ucfunnel, The Trade Desk (TTD), or other programmatic platforms beyond GAM
• In-app or streaming platform ad experience (audio/video formats)

• Fully remote work (Thailand-based)
• A ground-floor seat in a fast-growing ads business — you'll shape the ad ops function, not inherit a rulebook
• Direct exposure to platform-level monetization: inventory strategy, programmatic deals, and international coordination

This role is open to Thai nationals only, compensated on Thai market terms. Applications not meeting the GAM / publisher-side requirement will not be reviewed.
