Hi there!
We are Semrush, a global Tech company developing our own product – a platform for digital marketers.
Are you ready to be a part of it? This is your chance! We’re hiring for Programmatic & Display Lead (Paid Traffic Team).
Tasks in the role
The Programmatic & Display Lead is a strategic and technical expert responsible for driving growth across our core paid media channels: Display, Video, and Retargeting. This role serves as the connection between individual channel execution and high-level business strategy.
As a senior individual contributor, you will move beyond tactical management to oversee large-scale initiatives that require a cross-channel perspective. You will be expected to bridge the gap between technical complexity and stakeholder communication, ensuring that our paid media engine is both innovative and analytically sound.
Strategic Oversight: Develop and execute a unified strategy across Display, Video, and Retargeting to ensure a cohesive approach
Project Leadership: Own high-impact, technical projects such as the implementation of automated bidding frameworks, and advanced audience segmentation
Testing and Optimization: Design and manage the team-wide A/B testing calendar and roadmap, ensuring rigorous experimentation protocols and the scalable application of learnings
Analytical Reporting: Work with the team to create Monthly Business Reviews (MBRs) and advanced performance dashboards, translating complex data sets into actionable insights for leadership
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a central consultant for Channel Managers, fostering a collaborative environment to align individual channel goals with broader business objectives
Stakeholder Management: Confidently navigate interactions with senior leadership and external partners to secure buy in for major initiatives and resource allocation
Who we are looking for
5+ years of hands-on experience in global display marketing, including campaign management, optimization, and strategy. US-based markets is a plus
Proven experience managing large budgets and analyzing complex data to drive results
Deep, hands-on expertise in display and video platforms and ecosystems, with the ability to troubleshoot and innovate within technical stacks
Proven ability to merge disparate channel data into a single framework to optimize the total media mix
A data-first mindset with experience in performance modeling, attribution analysis, and business metric-driven reporting
Experience managing complex workstreams that involve multiple stakeholders and long-term delivery timelines
Implement and oversee MTA frameworks to accurately credit the interplay between Display, Video, and Retargeting, as they fit within the overall marketing touchpoint framework to ensure a more sophisticated understanding of incremental lift
Attention to detail, strong time management, and the ability to work effectively under deadlines
Not required, but a plus
Experience in SaaS business is appreciated
Knowledge of SQL/BigQuery as part of data analysis as well as previous use of dashboard tools like Looker and Tableau.
Experience with AI tools and automation processes.
Knowledge of Semrush products and tools
You share our common values: Trust, as we prefer to speak up and be our true selves; Sense of Ownership, as it’s not worth wasting time on something you don’t believe in; and enthusiasm for Constant Change, as we are always looking to make things better
