Job Description

Responsibilities

  • You should be comfortable creating advertising creative and landing pages yourself.

  • You'll work as part of a team focused on finding winners and cutting losers fast, so the ad budget always goes where it converts.
  • We have attribution and conversion tracking in place.
  • You'll plug into that system and work closely with our technology team to build reports and optimize campaigns.
  • You'll be responsible for reporting the advertising performance periodically including high level KPIs per Channel, Campaign performance metrics like CVR, CAC and overall media intelligence
