We're Hiring
Director of Programmatic & Marketplace Operations
ConnectBlue is building a next-generation programmatic marketplace for Democratic-aligned media. We're standing up our own SSP integrations, private marketplaces, and direct DSP relationships—and we're looking for an experienced programmatic leader to help build and run it.
This role will own our programmatic strategy end-to-end: working with publisher partners, political agencies, and advertisers to design PMPs, optimize yield, and operate a high-trust marketplace during election cycles.
This is a builder role. You'll shape how Democratic-aligned media is bought and sold heading into 2026 and beyond.
Ideal candidates have experience in:
  • Programmatic advertising in political or advocacy environments
  • SSPs, PMPs, and direct DSP relationships
  • Publisher yield strategy and marketplace operations
  • Working with political agencies and election-cycle media buyers
If you've worked inside a political agency, SSP, major publisher, or programmatic trading desk—and want to help define the future of Democratic media—we'd like to talk.
