We are looking for a Programmatic Consultant!

Freelance | Full-time | Hybrid (Praha, Bratislava) or Remote | Salary acc to experience

Automation reduces routine, not decision-making. The more a system buys on its own, the greater the impact of the person who sets its rules, builds tests, monitors where campaigns actually buy, and catches the moments where the algorithm gets stuck.

In some places, this role is called an RTB Specialist. With us, the Consultant role is client-facing, and that makes all the difference. We are not looking for someone who just clicks through whatever comes in a brief. We want someone who builds the campaign, deconstructs its performance down to the level of audiences, formats, and inventory, and then sits down with the client to explain what they did, why they did it, and what they will test next.

If you want to shape the world of digital marketing with us, we’d love to learn more about you!

What you will do:

• Campaign Management and Optimization: You set up, launch, and continuously fine-tune programmatic campaigns to deliver performance and hit budget targets. You decide on audiences, formats, frequency, and inventory, often across multiple markets simultaneously.
• Quality and Purchase Structure: You monitor where the campaign actually buys. Whitelists, pre-bid filters, viewability, brand safety, and invalid traffic.
• Evaluation and Testing: You read data down to the targeting level, look for growth opportunities, and verify them through testing rather than gut feeling. You can then defend the results in front of both the client and your colleagues.
• Campaign Development and Opportunities: You see where the current setup hits a ceiling and bring concrete proposals to the client on what to do next - whether that's a new format, a new channel, different data, or a new optimization approach.
• Client Communication: You provide recommendations that help the client understand what is happening in the campaign and what comes next. During status calls, you answer campaign questions yourself, and if something isn't working, the client learns about it from you before they even have to ask.
• Current Trends and Technologies: CTV, DOOH, Digital Audio, Rich Media, and Dynamic Creatives. You test new platforms and tools, knowing which ones make sense to deploy for each specific client.
• Feedback for Our Products: Whatever you feel is missing in Zirsee or Zircon Ads, you share directly with the people building them. You use them daily, so your feedback carries real weight.

Who are we looking for? You are a great fit if:

• You have at least 2 years of experience in active RTB campaign management. Alternatively, at least 2 years in managing PPC or social media ads with a desire to switch to programmatic.
• You can work with at least one DSP at an advanced level - whether that is DV360, Adform, The Trade Desk, or Teads. You don’t need to know them all, but you must be able to navigate one independently.
• You understand how performance is measured: conversion tracking, attribution, viewability, and frequency. You recognize whether an issue lies within the campaign setup or in the measurement itself.
• You handle your own data processing. Pivot tables in Excel or Google Sheets and Looker Studio are part of your standard toolkit.
• You take full ownership and initiative. When the numbers or client feedback indicate that a strategy isn't working, you overhaul it even mid-campaign and communicate the change clearly.
• You have a pro-client mindset and a confident presence on calls and status meetings, even when a campaign is underdelivering. You stay composed when a client questions the results.
• You view freedom as an opportunity and the responsibility that comes with it as a given. You don't need someone standing over your shoulder.
• You speak Slovak or Czech at a native-speaker level.
• You actively follow trends and developments in programmatic and tech.

An advantage, but not a requirement:

• A concrete example of a campaign where your decision measurably boosted performance - ideally backed by numbers.
• Experience with creating case studies, whether for a client or for presenting results to the market.

Perks and benefits we offer:

• Fixed monthly salary based on your previous experience.
• Flexible working hours (just get the work done and meet the deadlines).
• Hybrid work model with offices in Prague or Bratislava, or fully remote.
• Extra time off (paid leave and sick days, even for freelancers).
• Support in education (courses, training, workshops, or conferences that interest you).
• Growth (both career and financial) based on your contribution, not on seniority or months spent in the chair.
• A choice of benefits (Happy Money, Multisport card, wellness vouchers, and much more...).
• Regular teambuildings and joint events (cabin trips, laser games, arcade nights, BBQs, sports days...).
• Own products: Zircon Ads, Zirsee, and Zirsee Detective. You work with tools we develop in-house and can directly influence how they evolve.
• Diverse client portfolio, both by segment and geography - from local brands to international portfolios.
• A friendly team (really!) and access to the know-how of experienced colleagues across Sales, SaaS, and RTB.

What will the recruitment process look like?

Send us your CV + a brief cover letter (or video). We are curious about 4 things:

• What you can do and what you enjoy doing the most.
• What you don't know yet, but want to learn.
• What you don't want us to ask of you.
• And a bit about yourself - who you are as a person.

What follows next?

• A short online chat with Simi from HR to get to know each other and discuss basic expectations.
• A practical task where you'll try out a assignment similar to what a Programmatic Consultant regularly solves at Zircon.
• A second round with the hiring manager, where you will go through your solution together and learn more about the team, products, and day-to-day work.
• If we click both professionally and personally, we will send you a collaboration offer.

Sounds interesting? Drop us a message, send your CV, and let's find out if we're a match! 🤝

Who are we?

At Zircon Tree, almost all of us once asked ourselves the question: "How much of what I know can I actually use to its full potential in my current job?"

We come from large media agencies (the big6) as well as mid-sized ones, and we know the feeling: a ceiling above which there is nowhere to grow. An idea that gets lost somewhere between management floors and approval loops. Decisions that ultimately changed nothing. And working with only a tiny slice of what happens around a client.

With us, however, things work differently. We are a global adtech company specializing in programmatic, media buying, and building our own SaaS tools (Zircon Ads, Zirsee, and Zirsee Detective). We work with clients across e-commerce, FMCG, automotive, banking, and agencies. Fewer people know our brand right now than it deserves, and that is precisely what we are starting to work on. We believe in what we do and have a strong sense that we are at the beginning of something big and timeless.

The fact that we do our work exceptionally well and innovatively is confirmed by our ranking in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50. We offer the opportunity to work on global projects, plenty of room for your own initiative, and a team that connects the worlds of marketing and technology.

We won't claim it's for everyone. Freedom here goes hand in hand with responsibility, and the pace is dynamic. But if you enjoy doing digital better than the competition, want to be there as something big is built, and actively contribute to it, we’d love to hear from you!
