  • Lead the daily operating rhythm of the performance media team, partnering closely with channel managers on campaign architecture, bidding strategies, audience development, Shopping feed optimization, creative testing, attribution, budget allocation and experimentation.

  • You are equally comfortable discussing commercial strategy with senior leadership as you are reviewing campaign structures with channel managers.
  • understand how to balance short-term performance with long-term brand growth and can influence stakeholders across Brand Marketing, Ecommerce and Global Media to make better investment decisions.
  • You should have informed opinions—not just awareness—on topics such as:
