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.
What You'll Do:
Operational Reporting & Performance Tracking

- Run Tableau reports on monthly and quarterly cadences, tracking revenue, top buyers, audience performance, product usage, and partner health across metrics defined by the Director, Data Partnerships
- Translate report outputs into clear, actionable findings — surfacing risks, trends, and gaps across audiences, taxonomy, partner coverage, competitive positioning, and anything else that could affect bottom line performance
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
- Serve as the primary point of contact for partner and client communications tied to audience deliveries and operational requests — managing expectations, providing status updates, and ensuring every deliverable is clearly documented and closed out
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
Market Research & Competitive Intelligence
- Conduct ongoing market research and competitive analysis to keep the partnerships team informed on trends, emerging data sources, partner capabilities, and industry developments
- Synthesize findings into concise, actionable briefings that inform partner strategy and product direction
