  • - Direct external agency partners with deep platform acumen, co-creating testing roadmaps and guiding daily optimizations to align with macro business goals
  • - Partner with internal analytics and finance teams to integrate marketing mix modeling (MMM), multi-touch attribution (MTA), and incrementality insights directly into channel KPIs
  • - Incorporate generative AI tools and creative automation platforms to rapidly scale dynamic creative optimization (DCO) and test high-velocity variations of short-form video
  • - Standardize and enforce a rigid cross-channel campaign naming taxonomy across the agency ecosystem to ensure pristine reporting on creative cohorts and specific programming verticals

Requirements

  • Deep strategic expertise in platform-native creative direction, with the ability to translate performance data into high-converting assets and structured creative testing matrices
  • Advanced financial acumen in managing large-scale media budgets, with a proven ability to evaluate multi-platform performance through unit economics, target CPAs, and LTV-to-CAC ratios
  • Technical mastery of marketing infrastructure, including server-to-server tracking, Conversions API (CAPI), and how paid social inputs feed into macro Econometric/Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) and MTA frameworks
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management capabilities, enabling the translation of complex social data and platform mechanics into clear, ROI-driven business cases for executive leadership
