Insurify, a fast-growing MIT-founded fintech startup recognized on the Forbes Fintech 50 and Inc. 5,000 lists, is hiring a Manager of Media Operations and Data Partnerships. This hands-on operational role sits at the intersection of media sales, data partnerships, and cross-functional execution, reporting to the leader of Media Sales and Data Partnerships. You will build the operational engine behind Insurify's growing media and data business, turning sold programs and approved partnerships into successfully launched, repeatable revenue streams. The role spans three core areas: **Media Operations:** Convert signed agreements into actionable implementation plans with clear requirements, milestones, dependencies, and owners. Coordinate campaign launch and delivery across on-site display, email, direct mail, paid social, programmatic media, audience activation, and data licensing. Monitor launch readiness, campaign delivery, tracking, and reporting; identify risks early and coordinate resolution across internal teams. **Data Partnerships:** Own cross-functional implementation of audience onboarding and distribution across LiveRamp, DSPs, SSPs, data marketplaces, and other platforms. Manage audience taxonomy, segment setup, data delivery, refresh schedules, match-rate analysis, activation readiness, and operational troubleshooting. Support evaluation of new data, identity, measurement, and programmatic partners by assessing advertiser demand, technical requirements, implementation effort, and operational fit. **Process and Scale:** Build standardized workflows, documentation, dashboards, service levels, and quality-control processes for media campaigns and data partnerships. Lead cross-functional workstreams across Sales, Product, Data, Engineering, Legal, Privacy, and Finance, keeping decisions, dependencies, and ownership clear. Translate operational learnings and partner requirements into recommendations for Insurify's media products and technical roadmap. You will work closely with Marketing, Product, Data, Engineering, Legal, Privacy, Finance, and Insurify's core insurance marketplace. The commercial team retains ownership of advertiser relationships, pricing, negotiations, renewals, and new-business development; your focus is execution and operational excellence.
