Ideal Candidate Profile

The strongest candidate is a strategic, technically sophisticated paid media leader who combines hands on channel expertise with broader portfolio management capabilities. This individual understands how to scale paid social campaigns, optimize advertising infrastructure, implement rigorous measurement standards, and coordinate multiple marketing initiatives simultaneously.
