What does a programmatic trader do?

Programmatic traders are the behind-the-scenes experts that make the whole world of digital advertising work. Pretty much all the adverts shown online are bought and sold in auctions – a bit like a stock market, but with more creativity and less likely to crash the global economy.

A programmatic trader’s job is to understand these auctions, so they connect everyday internet users with the brands, content, and causes they care about by using insights to show the right adverts to the right people (and not to annoy people who aren’t interested).

 

 

What kind of people make good programmatic traders?

You don’t need any specialist skills to start out as a programmatic trader. If you like solving problems, enjoy working as part of a dynamic team, and are comfortable working with large volumes of information to find out interesting things, that’s an ideal start.

Marketing and economics majors are a good fit, but we’ve also got awesome traders with backgrounds in finance, business administration, mathematics, computer science, and physics.
