Job DescriptionJob Description

FreeCast is looking for an experienced Streaming Advertising Manager to help connect the world of traditional local television advertising with the rapidly evolving landscape of CTV, streaming, FAST, programmatic advertising, and audience-driven media.

This is more than an ad sales role. You’ll work across the advertising lifecycle—from understanding advertiser and agency needs to campaign setup, targeting, delivery, optimization, quality assurance, measurement, reporting, and ongoing client communication.

We’re looking for someone who understands how advertising works commercially and is comfortable navigating the technology behind modern streaming campaigns. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you should be able to communicate effectively with advertisers, agencies, sales teams, ad-tech partners, data teams, and technical stakeholders.

This is a full-time, on-site position at our Orlando, Florida office.

Approximately 5+ years of experience across television advertising, CTV/OTT, programmatic advertising, digital video, ad operations, media buying/planning, or a related advertising environment

Strong understanding of the advertising lifecycle, from advertiser requirements and campaign setup through delivery, optimization, measurement, and reporting

Experience with local or broadcast television advertising , including exposure to advertisers, agencies, inventory, campaign delivery, or media operations

Working knowledge of CTV, OTT, streaming, FAST, AVOD, or digital video advertising

Understanding of programmatic advertising concepts and the relationship between DSPs, SSPs, ad servers, inventory, targeting, trafficking, and measurement

Experience managing, supporting, or overseeing advertising campaigns from setup through completion

Ability to monitor campaign performance, identify delivery issues, and coordinate solutions across multiple teams

Strong analytical skills and comfort working with campaign performance data and advertising KPIs

Strong client-facing communication skills with the ability to translate technical advertising information into clear business outcomes

Ability to work cross-functionally with sales, advertising, technology, data, and operational teams

Strong ownership mentality and comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where processes and technology continue to evolve

Ability to work full-time on-site at FreeCast’s Orlando office

Qualifications

Experience transitioning traditional television advertising strategies into CTV, OTT, streaming, or programmatic environments

Hands-on experience with one or more advertising platforms or technologies such as:

IndiCue

Experience with campaign attribution, audience segmentation, or advanced measurement

Experience using AI-assisted tools for campaign analysis, reporting, audience insights, workflow automation, or optimization

Experience in streaming, media, television, advertising technology, or another rapidly evolving digital-media environment

Experience with every platform or technology listed above is not required. We’re more interested in someone who understands the advertising ecosystem and can quickly learn and work across new platforms.

Develop advertiser-facing insights that go beyond impression counts and help explain who was reached, how campaigns performed, and where future campaigns can improve

You do not need to be an AI engineer. We’re looking for someone who is curious about emerging technology and comfortable using modern tools to make advertising operations more efficient, measurable, and accountable.

FAST Channel Explanation

FreeCast operates in the streaming television ecosystem, including FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television).

FAST allows consumers to watch streaming television channels without paying a traditional subscription . Instead, programming is monetized through advertising—bringing many familiar concepts from traditional television advertising into a digitally delivered, data-driven environment.

For advertisers, this creates opportunities to combine the reach and storytelling of television with capabilities such as audience targeting, geographic targeting, programmatic buying, dynamic ad insertion, measurement, and campaign optimization.

The Streaming Advertising Manager helps connect these worlds: understanding what advertisers are trying to accomplish and helping FreeCast's advertising and technology ecosystem turn those objectives into measurable streaming campaigns.
