  • Agency Experience: 5+ years managing paid media at a digital or performance marketing agency. Candidates without agency experience will not be considered.
  • Platform Depth: Hands-on expertise in Google Ads (Search, YouTube, Performance Max) and Meta Ads Manager. Experience with connected TV platforms and programmatic required at this level.
  • Full-Funnel Thinking: You understand how awareness, consideration, and conversion work together — and you build media strategies that reflect that understanding, not just a collection of campaigns.
  • Creative Conviction: You have opinions about what makes paid creative work. You can brief a creative team with clarity and purpose, push back when something isn't right, and connect creative decisions to performance outcomes.
  • Budget Management at Scale: Comfortable managing significant paid media budgets across multiple clients simultaneously, with a track record of accurate pacing and strong performance outcomes.
  • Daily Discipline: You check your campaigns every day. You catch overspend, underspend, and performance anomalies early — and you act on them without being asked.
  • Reporting Infrastructure: You build systems, not spreadsheets. You've set up automated dashboards and reporting workflows that reduce manual work and improve visibility.
  • Data Storytelling: You don't just send a dashboard. You explain what's happening, what it means for the business, and what you're recommending next — in language clients actually understand and act on.
  • Strategic Conviction: You form opinions about what's working and what isn't, and you make recommendations with confidence, including the hard ones.
  • AI-Integrated Workflow: You're using AI tools to work smarter — for research, reporting, copy testing, creative briefing, or strategy — and you can speak to how it's made your work better.
