Role Overview
Tunnl is seeking a Data Partnerships Manager to support the operational management and day-to-day execution of our growing partner ecosystem. This role sits at the center of Tunnl’s partnerships function — responsible for keeping integrations healthy, delivering on partner commitments, and ensuring the team has the reporting and intelligence needed to drive smart, data-informed decisions across revenue, audiences, and the broader product landscape.
Reporting to the SVP of Partnerships, this role will own the operational rhythms of assigned data partnerships — from monthly revenue tracking to custom audience fulfillment and overall account growth. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Client Experience teams, and bring a detail-oriented, analytical mindset to a fast-moving, cross-functional environment. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a foundation in ad technology and digital advertising who is ready to grow their career in data partnerships.

Audience Delivery & Technical Operations
Lead integration workflows for new partners in collaboration with Product and Engineering teams
Oversee all audience delivery requests downstream to partner platforms with accuracy, timeliness, and clear documentation
Manage the segment intake process and client communications for incoming custom requests and maintain taxonomy structure across data partners
Monitor marketplace audience availability to ensure accuracy and quality

Partner Relationship Management & Account Ownership
Own day-to-day relationships with assigned partners, serving as the primary operational point of contact
Manage a portfolio of partner accounts end-to-end, including all communications, delivery coordination, and ongoing relationship health
Lead and conduct quarterly business reviews with highly strategic partners
