Test Publisher Jobs (NOW HIRING)

TL;DR
Fast-growing measurement company looking for a technically sharp, highly motivated person to own day-to-day publisher product operations, integrations, and cross-functional coordination across Adelaide's Publisher, Product, Data Science, and Engineering teams. This is an opportunity to work directly with leading publishers, take on meaningful ownership quickly, and grow your scope as the business scales.
Who we are
Adelaide is the leader in one of the fastest-growing areas of advertising: attention measurement and activation.
Since 2020, we've become the trusted media quality measurement partner for 40% of Fortune 50 brands who rely on our award-winning AU metric to plan smarter campaigns, invest in high-quality inventory, and dive stronger business outcomes. Adweek has called Adelaide's AU "the attention economy's most widely recognized metric," and AdExchanger named it "Best measurement/Analytics Capability."
Our business continues to scale rapidly, outperforming the industry with a 35% three-year CAGR. What began as a 9-person startup in 2019 is now a team of more than 75.
The past year brought meaningful expansion. We launched the AU ecosystem, giving brands, media agencies, and publishers a unified way to leverage and transact on AU. We broadened our programmatic footprint with custom bidding in GoogleDV360 and pre-bid targeting in The Trade Desk, and grew our partner roster to over 125 platforms and publishers. Leading brands like Dell, Diageo, an Jaguar Land Rover-along with premium publishers such as Hearst, Spotify, and The New York Times-continue to demonstrate AU's value across the media lifecycle.
Adelaide is backed by prominent investors such as Human Ventures (Joe Marchese), Aperiam Ventures (Joe Zawadzki & Eric Franchi), WGI (Jonah Goodhart), and Irwin Gotlieb.
We have a NYC office and a London WeWork, but operates as a remote-friendly company with flexible work options.
How we work
We're a team of action-oriented doers-management rolls up their sleeves and contributes every day. Our culture is rooted in curiosity and rigor: opinions are held lightly, debated openly, and strengthened through testing. Everyone is encouraged to play a role in shaping planning and strategy.
We're built on belonging and growth-94% of employees report a strong sense of belonging, and 81% say they're happy at work.
Position overview
This position reports to the Director, Publishers and is responsible for driving the day-to-day technical operations, integrations, and cross-functional coordination behind one of Adelaide's fastest-growing lines of business.
In this role, you'll own publisher tag operations, help stand up integrations with major publishers, and run meetings and keep publisher-related work moving across Data Science, Product, and Engineering. You'll also build deep expertise in Adelaide's publisher products and how new features and technical developments affect our partners.
The work is both technical and operational. On any given day, you might investigate a measurability issue, configure and test publisher tags, drive a cross-functional project forward, document a new process, or onboard a publisher partner. As you ramp up, you'll begin owning publisher accounts directly and serving as a trusted resource for both partners and internal teams.
We're looking for someone with 0-2 years of relevant experience or equivalent experience gained through coursework, internships, or projects. A background in computer science, data science, statistics, economics, or another analytical field may be helpful, but we're equally interested in someone who demonstrates technical curiosity, strong follow-through, and a genuine interest in ad tech, media, or data-driven products.
This is a high-ownership opportunity for someone who wants to learn quickly, take initiative, and grow their responsibilities alongside the business. You'll work closely with the Director, Publishers and other leaders across Adelaide, with the expectation that within your first few months, you'll be ready to independently own publisher accounts while continuing to receive guidance as needed.
This is a fully remote role within the United States, with occasional travel to our New York office a few times per year.
Compensation: Base Salary: $90,000 - $110,000
