The Ad Operations Specialist is a functional role within the EMEA Operations Department ultimately responsible for managing EMEA GumGum’s clients’ advertising campaigns.

The Adops specialist works closely with local Account Management Team and the PSM to ensure that the AdOps Team in EMEA is providing an industry leading campaign performance to GumGum’s Buyers, as well as identifying upsell opportunities and passing these along to client facing teams.
