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. As StackAdapt is a Remote-First company, you will work as part of a highly collaborative remote team. This role is open to candidates located anywhere in Canada or the US. Occasional travel may be required. 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. The compensation range listed for this role reflects the expected base salary for candidates located in the posting country based on a global rate. It is informed by market data and the approved budget for this position. StackAdapt maintains different compensation ranges for roles across other countries and regions, and final offers will be aligned to the candidate’s current location.
