Commercial io manager

StackAdapt is the leading technology company that empowers marketers to reach, engage, and convert audiences with precision. With 465 billion automated optimizations per second, the AI-powered StackAdapt Marketing Platform seamlessly connects brand and performance marketing to drive measurable results across the entire customer journey. The most forward-thinking marketers choose StackAdapt to orchestrate high-impact campaigns across programmatic advertising and marketing channels.

We are seeking a Commercial IO Manager to serve as the dedicated commercial owner of IO review and negotiation: partnering with Account Executives (AEs) in client deals, leading an active portfolio of IO improvement projects, and building automated and scalable processes.

This is a commercial partnership role, not a legal or support role. You will act as the commercial expert who protects StackAdapt’s interests in real-time deal conversations — giving AEs a specialist partner.

This role partners closely with Sales, Legal, Finance, Ad Ops, and Platform, and carries an immediate roadmap with measurable impact from day one.

What you’ll be doing

• Own the IO book: Own end-to-end commercial review, editing, and processing of all Insertion Orders, working from StackAdapt’s IO templates, standard positions, and internally-approved language. Partner with and advise the AE, and approve or apply approved redline language directly.
• Bridge the functions: Serve as the connective tissue between Sales, Legal, Finance, Ad Ops, and Platform on all IO-related matters — coordinating delivery, payment, and operational requirements and tracking issues to resolution.
• Drive the project portfolio: Lead an active portfolio of IO improvement projects, and contribution to end-to-end IO process streamlining from media plan to campaign launch.
• Build the operating model: Set the standard and guide process for campaign amendments and IO approvals from a revenue perspective, designing repeatable, scalable workflows rather than just executing within them.
• Leverage AI: Use StackAdapt’s AI tooling to accelerate IO review and develop agents and repositories that let AEs handle defined, pre-approved issues independently.

What you’ll bring to the table

• Experience in commercial operations, deal desk, or revenue operations in an adtech, media, or SaaS environment.
• Familiarity with programmatic advertising concepts, campaign mechanics, and IO structures.
• A commercial professional who can read a contract, identify the business implications of a term, and distinguish a reasonable client ask from one that creates real risk. This is not a legal or paralegal role and full training, guidance, and resources on legal issues will be provided by the Legal team.
• A clear, confident communicator who can represent StackAdapt’s position credibly.
• Process-oriented — capable of designing and owning workflows, not just executing within them.
• Able to navigate cross-functional relationships across Sales, Legal, Finance, and Platform without relying on formal authority.
• Comfort using AI tools to accelerate commercial and contract workflow is essential.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by a fast-paced environment; strong attention to detail and the ability to own and manage multiple projects end to end.
