Has managed meaningful ad spend independently, with a track record of hitting TACOS/ROAS targets

Approach to the role:

Detail-oriented and process-driven.

You take full ownership of what's assigned to you

You move fast without dropping details, even when managing a high volume of precision work across multiple platforms

You communicate proactively

You operate with real independence and are excited to grow into owning a channel or program over time
