About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Ad Ops Campaign Manager to help build the operational backbone of Tesco’s new media platform. This is a rare opportunity to shape how a new category of media is operationalised — from hands-on campaign execution during the pilot phase to designing scalable, automated operations for the future.
You’ll be at the heart of campaign delivery, working cross-functionally to ensure campaigns run smoothly today while helping define the systems, workflows, and tools that will power tomorrow.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead end-to-end campaign creation and execution during the pilot phase.
• Design the future-state operating model for scalable campaign delivery.
• Represent campaign delivery needs in product, proposition, and commercial planning.
• Build and maintain campaign documentation and playbooks.
• Ensure compliance with data governance and privacy standards.
• Translate campaign briefs into executable plans across teams.
• Troubleshoot operational blockers and escalate as needed.
• Track campaign performance and support post-campaign reporting.
• Define booking principles, SLAs, and QA processes.
• Contribute to the selection and implementation of future ad tech and workflow tools.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in ad operations, campaign management, or media delivery — ideally in digital or retail media.
• Strong understanding of campaign workflows, trafficking, and execution across multiple channels.
• Familiarity with data governance, privacy, and clean room environments.
• Experience designing or improving operational processes and systems.
• Ability to work cross-functionally and manage multiple stakeholders under tight timelines.

You’ll Thrive If You…

• Constantly look for ways to streamline workflows and reduce friction.
• Build trust through operational excellence and clear communication.
• Think in terms of systems, dependencies, and repeatable processes.
• Move quickly to solve problems and keep campaigns on track.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, high-change environment.
• Collaborate seamlessly across teams.
• Embrace ambiguity and help shape solutions to complex challenges.

The Challenges You’ll Tackle

• Delivering campaigns in a pilot environment where many systems and processes are not yet in place.
• Managing campaigns that span multiple inventory sources and data sets, with no unified platform.
• Acting as both doer and designer — executing today while shaping tomorrow’s operating model.
• Balancing the need for speed and flexibility with the need for rigour , compliance, and scalability.
