Job Details

Summary
We're a small boutique digital marketing agency based in Milwaukee looking for a sharp, systems-oriented Programmatic Media Buyer to cover programmatic across a portfolio of client accounts. This role starts as maternity leave coverage (beginning late 2026) with potential to grow into ongoing work.

You're right for this role if you've run programmatic campaigns for real clients. You're comfortable operating inside someone else's systems without needing to rebuild everything from scratch.

Who you are:
3+ years running programmatic campaigns in a DSP (The Trade Desk, DV360, Amazon DSP, Spotify Ad Studio, AudioGo) for real client accounts

Experience running CTV/OTT and audio campaigns

Familiar with Funnel.io or willing to learn. Ability to build and maintain data connections and reporting pipelines.

Proficient in Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio). Ability to build dashboards from scratch, not just populate templates.

Experienced with Google Tag Manager and GA4 for conversion tracking setup and troubleshooting
Comfortable working inside an existing agency's tools and processes. Our systems include Funnel, Looker Studio, and ClickUp.

Responsive and async-friendly. We run lean and communicate through task management and written updates, not constant meetings.

Bonus if you have:
Experience at a digital marketing agency managing multiple client accounts simultaneously

What you'll be doing:
Managing programmatic campaigns across multiple DSPs. Pacing, optimization, audience strategy.

Building and maintaining client-facing reporting dashboards in Looker Studio using Funnel.io as the data source

Completing monthly reporting with written recommendations and analysis

Tracking spend and pacing using our existing internal documents and processes

Flagging issues proactively. We'd rather hear about a problem early than be surprised.

Application Requirement
Please submit a 3-5 minute Loom video answering the following:

Walk us through a programmatic campaign you managed from build to reporting. What DSP did you use, what were the goals, and what did you optimize?

What's your experience with Google Data Studio? Can you build data connections and dashboards from scratch?

Have you worked inside an agency's existing systems and tools before, or do you typically set up your own? How do you handle that transition?

Applications without a Loom will not be considered.

Project Details
Hourly, $40-$100/hr depending on experience
3-4 months duration
Wisconsin or Illinois location required
Start date: November 2026 at approximately 5 hrs/week (onboarding and systems familiarization). Hours increase to up to 20 hrs/week as full coverage begins in December.

Hourly: $40.00 - $100.00 Intermediate Est. time: 3 to 6 months, Less than 30 hrs/week

Example Cover Letter

Hi — I’d like to apply for the Programmatic Media Buyer (maternity coverage) role. I meet the location requirement and have the systems-first programmatic experience you describe.

Quick intro
- [Your name], based in [City, WI or IL].
- [X+] years running programmatic campaigns across client accounts in The Trade Desk, DV360, and Amazon DSP (also experience with Spotify Ad Studio / AudioGo where applicable).
- Comfortable working inside existing agency systems (Funnel, Looker Studio, ClickUp) and following documented processes rather than rebuilding them.

How I match what you need
- Programmatic operations: Built, launched and optimized CTV/OTT and audio campaigns end-to-end — audience strategy, pacing, creative taxonomy, frequency capping, and bid strategy adjustments for CPA/ROAS/awareness goals.
- Reporting & data pipelines: Hands-on with Funnel.io (setting up connectors, mapping, and maintaining feeds) and Looker Studio — I build dashboards from scratch and automate client reporting.
- Tracking & troubleshooting: Setup and QA of GTM and GA4 conversion tracking, troubleshooting discrepancies between DSPs and analytics.
- Agency collaboration: Experienced managing multiple client accounts concurrently, using ClickUp (or similar) for async updates, tasking, and proactive issue flags. I prioritize written summaries and early flagging of problems.

Deliverables I’ll own
- Manage programmatic campaigns across your DSP mix: pacing, optimizations, audience testing, and weekly written updates.
- Build and maintain client-facing Looker Studio dashboards using Funnel.io as the source.
- Produce monthly reports with analysis and clear recommendations.
- Track spend and pacing via your internal docs and processes, escalating early when needed.

Loom video
I recorded the required 3–5 minute Loom answering: a recent campaign walkthrough (build → optimizations → results), my Looker Studio/Funnel experience, and how I onboard into an existing agency stack. Watch here: [LOOM_LINK]

Availability & rate
- Available for onboarding beginning November 2026 at ~5 hrs/week, increasing up to 20 hrs/week in December.
- Hourly rate: $[XX]/hr (flexible within your $40–$100 range depending on scope).

Next steps
If this looks like a fit I can share a short portfolio with dashboard screenshots and campaign summaries, or we can schedule a quick async Q&A. Thanks for considering my application — I’d welcome the chance to support your clients during coverage and beyond.

You’re comfortable with short, focused troubleshooting engagements and working under time-sensitive conditions.

Job Details

Emails to Outlook are hitting spam. Hard bounces also jumped on our last email send. Help us figure out why, and then develop a plan of action to fix the issue.

Hourly: $50.00 - $95.00 Intermediate Est. time: Less than 1 month, Less than 30 hrs/week

Example Cover Letter

Hi — I can help. I specialize in email deliverability and have 6+ years diagnosing inbox placement problems for high-volume senders (including Outlook/Hotmail). Below is how I’d approach your issue, what I’ll deliver, and what I’ll need from you.

Why this is happening (likely causes)
- Authentication issues (SPF/DKIM/DMARC misconfiguration or misalignment)
- Poor sending IP or domain reputation (new or warmed-down IPs)
- Microsoft-specific signals (SNDS/JMRP not configured, SmartScreen reputation issues)
- List hygiene and bounce handling failures (hard bounces not suppressed)
- Content or engagement problems triggering Outlook filters
- Blocklist listings or sudden volume/spike changes

Proposed scope of work (diagnosis + remediation plan)
Phase 1 — Rapid diagnosis (48–72 hours)
- Review last campaign: raw headers, bounce reports, suppression lists, and sample messages
- Inspect DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR/reverse DNS, BIMI if present)
- Check sending IP(s)/domain reputation and blocklist status (Microsoft blocklists, Spamhaus, etc.)
- Validate Microsoft signals (SNDS, JMRP, Outlook Postmaster) and review complaint rates/engagement metrics
- Analyze mailserver logs or ESP reports for bounce codes and rates
Deliverable: concise findings report with prioritized causes

Phase 2 — Remediation plan (1–3 days)
- Technical fixes required (exact DNS/text changes, DKIM selector guidance, reverse-DNS, SPF flattening/limits)
- List hygiene and bounce-suppression checklist (how to handle hard bounces immediately)
- Content and sending best-practices (subject/body suggestions, sending cadence, volume ramp)
- Microsoft-specific actions (enrolling in SNDS/JMRP, reputation recovery steps, appeal procedures if blocked)
Deliverable: actionable step-by-step remediation roadmap and timeline

Optional Phase 3 — Implementation & monitoring (ongoing / hourly or short fixed engagement)
- Implement changes (I can make DNS/ESP changes or guide your engineer)
- Monitor results for 2–4 weeks and iterate (deliverable: weekly status + inbox placement trend)
- Help submit delisting/appeal requests if needed

Estimated time & pricing
- Diagnostic + remediation plan: fixed $350 (delivered in 3–5 business days)
- Implementation & monitoring: $60/hr or a packaged 20-hour block ($1,080) for hands-on fixes and 2–4 weeks monitoring

What I’ll need from you
- Access or exports: last campaign raw headers, full bounce report, list size & segmentation, and a few sample emails
- DNS console access or a contact who can apply DNS changes
- ESP details (provider, sending IPs) and any prior deliverability history or tickets

Why me
- Proven track record with Outlook/Hotmail deliverability recovery
- Practical mix of technical DNS, mailserver/ESP, and content/engagement fixes
- Clear, prioritized remediation plans and hands-on support if desired

If that sounds good, tell me your ESP and share a sample of the last campaign’s raw headers and bounce report. I’ll start the diagnosis as soon as I have them.

Example Cover Letter

Hi — I can help get your Google Workspace/Gmail receiving again.

Quick summary of what I’ll do
- Run email log/message trace in the Google Admin console to see whether messages reach Google and what happens to them.
- Verify DNS/MX records and DNS propagation for the domain.
- Check SPF, DKIM and DMARC settings (misconfigured auth can cause mail rejection or routing issues).
- Review Gmail routing, compliance, and content/attachment rules in Admin console (inbound/reject/quarantine rules).
- Check for domain- or user-level blocks, quarantines, suspended/disabled users, or routing to a third-party MTA.
- Review firewall/SMTP relay settings and any third-party spam filters / MX forwarders.
- Look for bounce/NDR samples or senders’ server responses (if available) and check Google Postmaster/blacklist status.
- Provide step-by-step fixes and recommendations to prevent recurrence.

What I need from you
- A Google Workspace Admin account (Super Admin or delegated admin) for 30–60 minutes, or screenshots of Admin console > Email Log Search and Routing settings.
- One or two example senders (their email + approximate time they attempted to send).
- Any bounce messages or NDR text the senders received, if available.
- The domain name and when the issue started.

Estimated time & price
- Initial remote diagnosis (30–60 min): $60. This includes running logs and an immediate list of findings.
- If a fix is required, I’ll provide an estimate. Typical fixes are 0.5–3 hours depending on cause. My hourly rate after diagnosis is $45/hr (or I can propose a fixed price if the scope is clear).

Availability
I can start within 24 hours and often resolve receiving issues the same day once I have admin access and example messages.

Why hire me
- I troubleshoot Google Workspace mail delivery and DNS issues regularly and will map the problem to the quickest, low-risk fix.
- I’ll explain what I change and provide steps so you can monitor and prevent similar problems.

If that works, please invite me to the job or reply with the requested info and a time when you can grant admin access. I’ll begin with the logs and report back with findings and next steps.

Modern Intranet

Hello — I’d love to help design and deliver a modern, usable SharePoint Online intranet that balances corporate branding, information architecture, and real-world SharePoint capabilities.

Brief summary of SharePoint Online experience
- SharePoint Online designer and implementer with [X years] experience delivering modern intranets, departmental portals, and collaboration sites for medium and enterprise organizations.
- Strong mix of UI/UX, information architecture, visual design, and hands-on SharePoint configuration (site/pages/templates/web parts), plus experience coordinating with IT and business stakeholders to produce practical solutions.

Relevant examples (I will share links and full case studies in chat)
- Project A — [Client / Industry]
- Role: Lead designer + SharePoint configurer (wireframes → templates → page builds)
- Deliverables: IA and navigation design, high-fidelity mockups, responsive page templates, custom page layouts, design documentation and training.
- Project B — [Client / Industry]
- Role: UX & visual designer; worked with SharePoint developer to implement via SP Framework and OOTB web parts
- Deliverables: component library, accessibility improvements, search refinements, adoption materials.
- Project C — [Client / Industry]
- Role: SharePoint site designer and governance advisor
- Deliverables: metadata strategy, content types, permission model, reusable templates and governance guidance.

(Please allow me to provide 2–3 live links and before/after screenshots once we connect — I’ll redact client names if required.)

My role on examples
- I typically lead discovery and stakeholder workshops, produce wireframes/prototypes, create visual designs and pattern libraries, then either configure pages myself in SharePoint Online or hand off to a developer with clear specs.
- I handle design → build for many projects when using SharePoint Online out-of-the-box capabilities and collaborate with SPFx/Power Platform developers when custom components are required.

Approach to balancing SharePoint limitations, branding, and UX
- Start with discovery: content model, user tasks, and analytics to prioritize features and pages.
- Design with constraints in mind: prefer OOTB modern web parts and site templates where they meet UX needs; leverage SPFx or Power Platform only for gaps that materially improve usability.
- Create modular templates and a pattern library that reflect branding while remaining flexible and upgrade-safe.
- Use progressive enhancement: deliver working wireframes, then high-fidelity mockups, then iterative builds with QA and accessibility checks to ensure responsiveness and consistency.
- Align with governance, metadata, and search strategies early so design supports findability and long-term content management.

Initial deliverables I propose for the engagement (can be refined)
- Review of current intranet and existing design standards; gap analysis (report).
- Stakeholder interviews/workshops and user task mapping.
- Proposed site structure, navigation, and content hierarchy.
- Wireframes and 1–2 high-fidelity design concepts for key pages (home, hub, department template).
- Build/enhance SharePoint pages and templates for agreed scope.
- Documentation: reusable design standards, template guide, and brief training/adoption materials.
- Two rounds of stakeholder revisions.

Availability and hours
- Availability: I can start in [start timeframe — e.g., 1 week]. Typical capacity: [e.g., 20–30 hours/week], with core overlap during [your timezone] business hours (I can align with [Client timezone] as needed).
- I’m happy to provide a fixed-price estimate for the initial phase above or work on an hourly basis depending on your preference.

Certifications and Microsoft 365 experience
- Experience with Microsoft 365 ecosystem (SharePoint Online, Teams integration, Microsoft Search, Planner/Power Automate/Power Apps) and guidance on when to use Power Platform vs. native SharePoint features.
- Certifications: [list any — e.g., Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams/SharePoint] (please replace with your actual certifications).

Next steps
- If this aligns with your needs I can:
1) Share 2–3 relevant portfolio links and case studies.
2) Schedule a 30–45 minute discovery call to review goals, timelines, and success criteria.
3) Provide a tailored proposal with timeline, milestones, and fixed price or hourly estimate.

Thank you for your consideration — I look forward to the chance to discuss your intranet goals.
