Mission:
As part of the Strategic Accounts team, the AppNexus Senior Program Manager will work with industry-leading partners in the digital advertising space.

This role is responsible for managing complex programs for our strategic accounts, including qualification, design, development, production, and commercialization. While the programs are often technology focused, the Senior Program Manager will collaborate cross-functionally within both business and technical organizations for the client and AppNexus.
