CA Select is looking for a Programmatic Biddable Specialist in Pretoria. This is a permanent role for a technically strong digital media specialist who can run programmatic campaigns hands-on, keep tracking watertight, and turn campaign data into better results. The salary is market related, and the working model is hybrid, based in Pretoria. The reference is Programmatic Biddable Specialist.
About the company and the work
CA Select is the recruiter behind this vacancy, acting for a leading organisation with a high-performing media team. The work sits at the technical end of digital media: the specialist looks after the architecture behind campaigns, not just the media buying. That means building campaigns in programmatic platforms, setting up tracking properly from the start, auditing it when something looks wrong, and working closely with analytics, strategy, creative, development and client service colleagues. It suits someone who enjoys the detail — tags, pixels, conversion events and quality checks — as much as the campaign results themselves. This is a distinct vacancy from the Biddable Specialist role in Pretoria advertised by the same recruiter: that role centres on paid-media strategy across search, social and shopping, while this one centres on programmatic execution through DV360 and on tracking.
Role details and duties
The advert describes a permanent Programmatic Biddable Specialist role in Pretoria. The key responsibilities listed in the original advert include:
- Planning, building, managing and optimising programmatic campaigns across display, video, audience and retargeting channels.
- Working hands-on within DV360 and the broader Google Marketing Platform ecosystem.
- Managing biddable campaigns across Google Ads, Meta, YouTube and other relevant digital platforms.
- Leading campaign implementation, including full tracking and conversion setup.
- Implementing, testing and troubleshooting tracking through Google Tag Manager, GA4, Floodlight tags, pixels and conversion events.
- Conducting thorough tracking audits to identify and resolve broken, duplicated or incorrectly configured events.
- Ensuring all campaigns, analytics and conversion tracking are correctly integrated before launch.
- Managing budgets, bidding strategies, pacing, audiences and frequency.
- Analysing performance and conversion data to drive continuous optimisation.
- Performing detailed campaign quality assurance to maintain high implementation standards.
- Collaborating cross-functionally with Analytics, Strategy, Creative, Development and Client Service teams.
What is on offer, as stated in the advert: a market-related salary; permanent employment; a hybrid working model based in Pretoria; and the opportunity to work on complex, technical campaigns within a specialist performance team.
Requirements
Applicants should meet the following requirements, as stated in the original advert:
- 3 to 5 or more years of experience in performance, biddable or programmatic media.
- Essential hands-on programmatic media experience.
- Strong practical experience using DV360.
- Advanced working knowledge of Google Tag Manager and GA4.
- Proven experience implementing and troubleshooting Floodlight tags, pixels, conversion events and campaign tracking.
- Strong understanding of attribution models, audience segmentation and remarketing strategies.
- Practical experience across Google Ads, Meta Ads and YouTube.
- Strong analytical skills with a focus on technical troubleshooting.
- Exceptional attention to detail and rigorous campaign quality-assurance standards.
- Previous experience within an agency environment is preferred.
The skills section of the advert also lists 3 to 4 years each of programmatic and DV360 execution, paid biddable media, and tracking audits and troubleshooting.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the advert. Be wary of anyone who asks for a fee to secure a job, or who contacts you outside the official listing: genuine recruiters do not charge applicants for placement.
Practical tips
Lead with your technical proof: name the platforms you have run hands-on, especially DV360, and give an example of a tracking problem you found and fixed — a duplicated event, a broken Floodlight tag or a conversion that was not firing — and what it changed. Since the role puts a premium on quality assurance, describe how you check a campaign before launch, from tag firing to audience and frequency settings. If you have agency experience, say so, as the advert lists it as preferred.
