• Challenge client briefs and investment approaches with platform knowledge, consumer and retailer insights, performance evidence and commercial judgment.
• Partner with retailer-specific planners, buyers and account teams to improve work, establish standards and resolve gaps without duplicating or displacing existing ownership.
• Stay current on platform, product and measurement changes and clearly explain their strategic and executional implications to senior clients and teams.
• Develop frameworks, playbooks and best practices that connect media investment to incrementality, digital shelf performance, customer acquisition, retailer objectives, and total ecommerce growth.
• Coach teams, support urgent client situations and contribute to new-business and capability-development opportunities across the agency.
• Identify growth opportunities, manage client budgets responsibly and contribute to the profitable expansion of assigned business.

• Experience influencing cross-functional teams and operating across clients, accounts, disciplines and agency structures.
