Who we are

At JustWatch (www.justwatch.com), we’ve built the world’s largest entertainment guide for films, series, and sports. We partner with leading movie studios and streaming platforms to run sophisticated online campaigns that promote their latest releases in cinemas and on streaming platforms, reaching millions of fans across 140+ countries.

From a small startup, we've evolved into a 200+ strong team, based in Berlin, around the world, or working remotely. We've been all about building a profitable business while riding that wave of impressive growth.

Who we need

In this role, you will own the post-sale campaign process, managing advertising campaigns from launch through reporting while ensuring campaigns deliver against client expectations. You will work closely with studios, streaming services, and media agencies to launch and manage campaigns, serving as their primary point of contact and building strong, long-term relationships.

This role combines publisher-side ad operations expertise with client-facing campaign management, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both technical campaign execution and working directly with entertainment industry partners.

You’ll collaborate across departments and time zones, own campaign execution from start to finish, and help improve our internal tools and workflows. You are not afraid of fast-moving targets and make decisions using data, including making your pivots and have familiarity with creative strategies.

Own full management of media campaigns across display, video and native content using our custom-built internal tools.

Create media plans by translating media briefs into strategic activations across all our products.

Monitor pacing, troubleshoot delivery, and hit KPIs like CPV, VTR, Completion Rates and CPM.

Serve as the primary point of contact for entertainment clients (studios, streamers, and agencies), managing day-to-day communications.

Coordinate post-campaign reporting, wrap decks, business reviews and performance insights in collaboration with the Sales team.

Research and analyse market trends, competitive landscape, and emerging technologies to identify new growth opportunities.

Develop and propose innovative publishing products and services that meet the evolving needs of our audience.

Work closely with Sales, Creative, BI, and our AdTech team to develop and launch compelling on-brand campaigns.

Passion for film and TV!

3+ years of experience in digital advertising, ad operations, or campaign management

Proven hands-on experience on paid social media platforms such as Meta and TikTok.

Proficiency in CM360 / DV360 is considered a plus.

Understanding of technical tracking details, brand safety, and pixel integration.

Experience working in an agency setting is desirable.

A proactive attitude, self-confidence, and decisiveness, especially in high-pressure situations.

The ability to work independently, quickly adapt to new challenges, and drive results.

Excellent communication skills in English, with proficiency in additional languages considered a plus.

Constant learning, delivering results, and creating value are the core characteristics of everyone at JustWatch, and we seek these values in every person we hire.

This role reports into the Head of Global Native Advertising and collaborates closely with our campaign managers, sales, and internal product teams, and external partners.

This is a hands-on execution role.

If you haven’t personally launched and optimised campaigns inside platforms like Meta or TikTok, it’s not the right fit.

If your roles are more on social media management, it’s not the right fit.

We live in data, love performance, and hire doers.

An open-minded and international team that loves to collaborate to reach our goals.

Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance, 401(k) Plan, Short-Term & Long-Term Disability Insurance, and Life Insurance.

We believe in a permission-less environment that lets us focus on delivering value without overcomplicating things.

We prioritise meaningful work over perks and believe that true fulfilment comes from intrinsic motivation, personal growth, and making a lasting impact.

We trust our skilled professionals to maintain a no-nonsense attitude and create an environment that promotes innovation.

We are committed to helping you achieve your personal and professional goals, and we offer a collaborative and supportive environment to do so.

This opportunity is fully remote with occasional travel to client meetings. The primary office location is in the Los Angeles area, and there may be weekly to monthly in-person meetings, though we remain remote-first.

Media is important to us, and we are always happy to hear from people who enjoy film! If you feel like you are missing some of the hard skills, don’t worry, we are hiring for the attitude, values, and personality.

If we caught your attention and you're eager to delve into our perspectives and thought processes, we recommend immersing yourself in our blog post, which elaborates on these subjects:
