What You’ll Do

• Build and own executive-level decks for board meetings, investor updates, and leadership offsites
• Lead cross-functional strategic initiatives, defining scope, milestones, owners, and success metrics
• Drive end-to-end project management for CEO-sponsored priorities, ensuring timelines are met and risks are proactively managed
• Establish clear operating cadences, tracking mechanisms, and reporting structures for high-impact initiatives
• Conduct research and synthesize complex information into clear, actionable insights
• Analyze business performance data to inform decision-making and highlight risks or opportunities
• Prepare briefing materials ahead of key internal and external meetings
• Identify operational gaps and implement scalable solutions
• Act as connective tissue across departments to maintain alignment on CEO priorities

Who You Are

• 5–8+ years of experience in adtech, digital media, programmatic, or a closely related ecosystem, ideally in strategy, business operations, revenue operations, consulting, or similar execution-heavy roles
• Deep understanding of the adtech landscape, including publishers, DSPs, SSPs, agencies, and core performance metrics
• Proven experience leading cross-functional projects from strategy through execution, with clear examples of driving outcomes
• Strong analytical and structured thinking skills with the ability to synthesize business performance data into clear executive narratives
• Exceptional Google Slides skills, with experience building board-level, investor, and executive-facing materials from scratch
• Comfortable working directly with revenue, product, and financial data to inform decision-making
• Highly organized with strong project management discipline, including defining milestones, managing stakeholders, and mitigating risk
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-moving, high-growth environments
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders
• Low ego, high ownership, and strong accountability

The approximate compensation range for this position is $95,000-$125,000. The actual offer, reflecting the total compensation package and benefits, will be determined by a number of factors, including the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team.

Madhive is a dynamic, diverse, innovative, and friendly place to work. We embrace our differences and believe they fuel our creativity. We come from varied backgrounds and think that’s important. Whether it’s taking ideas from previous lives and applying them in different ways or creating something completely new, we are all trail-blazing team players who think big and want to make an impact.

We are committed to cultivating a culture of inclusion and collaboration. We welcome diversity in education, culture, opinions, race, ethnicity, gender identity, veteran status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and beliefs.
