Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Design and size acquisition tests, whether that's a new channel, a new customer segment, or a new offer, and make the call on how big a swing is worth taking

  • Own the day-to-day operations of third party relationships.
  • Work with acquisition partners to keep those channels performing, from placement and pricing to the data terms behind them
  • Track a test's performance while it's live, so you catch one running hot on risk or cold on response before it burns through its budget
