About the Role
Monks is seeking a Digital Media Senior Specialist for the Media Resale and Activation Team. You will manage the end-to-end setup, quality checking, and pacing of high-visibility YouTube campaigns in DV360 across multiple European markets for a major international household name. Working directly within a hybrid team of Monks and client team members, you will handle campaign setup and mid-flight optimisations for key commercial events. You'll ensure smooth delivery and campaign performance during busy periods with accuracy, speed, and clear accountability.
Responsibilities:
- Build and launch YouTube campaigns in DV360, including formats like YouTube Mastheads, YouTube Select, and Pause ads.
- Monitor daily performance, check campaign pacing, and reallocate budgets or adjust targeting mid-flight when needed.
- Manage YouTube Studio operations, including uploading assets, adding copy and metadata, tracking video approvals, and managing visibility settings.
- Quality-check campaign builds and support the setup of Brand Lift studies and testing activity.
- Turn campaign data into clear reports and practical recommendations for stakeholders.
- Manage multiple campaign deadlines across several markets, flag potential delays early, and use AI tools to simplify reporting, quality checks, and process guides.
About You
The essentials:
- 3+ years of hands-on experience setting up, optimising, and reporting on YouTube campaigns in DV360 or Google Ads.
- Solid understanding of YouTube ad formats (in-stream, bumpers, Shorts), ad specs, and buying options.
- Close attention to detail and a thorough approach to quality-checking campaign setups.
- Strong organisational skills to manage multiple multi-market campaign launches against firm deadlines.
- Clear written and spoken communication skills for working with internal and client teams.
- A proactive, collaborative approach suited to working within an embedded client team.
- Good Excel skills (lookups, pivot tables) to pull out clear takeaways from campaign data.
- Interest in using AI tools to automate reporting, quality checks, and process documentation.
Not a must, but a plus:
- Experience with reserved YouTube inventory (Mastheads, YouTube Select, Pause ads).
- Experience managing a YouTube channel in YouTube Studio (uploads, metadata, visibility settings).
- Experience setting up or analysing Google Brand Lift studies.
- Experience running multi-market campaigns, including localised assets and copy.
- Familiarity with Asana or similar workflow tools.
