  • Own measurement and reporting: weekly performance reads, deep dives, and insights that translate into clear actions; strong understanding of iOS/mobile measurement nuances and constraints.

  • Maintain exceptional campaign hygiene: naming conventions, QA, structure, guardrails, geo/creative rotation, budget reallocation, and performance monitoring.

  • Partner cross-functionally with Regional Directors, Data Science, Creative Strategists, Influencer/Brand, Product, and external agencies to unlock incremental growth.

  • Present to senior leadership: deliver monthly executive-level business reviews for your regions, clearly communicating what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next.

  • Experience managing large budgets (ideally $20M+ annually or comparable scale) with strong forecasting and pacing discipline.

  • Strong stakeholder management experience, comfortable partnering with Director/VP-level stakeholders.

  • Strong analytical skillset and fluency in performance KPIs (CPI, CPS, CVR, CTR, CAC, LTV).

  • Strong understanding of mobile attribution + iOS measurement realities (SKAN/privacy impacts, signal loss, incrementality thinking).

  • Extremely detail-oriented and loves being in-platform—campaign hygiene is a must-have.

  • Familiarity with tools like Adjust (or other MMPs), Looker, BigQuery, and experimentation/incrementality frameworks.
