KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Campaign Trafficking & Execution

• Build, traffic, and launch paid campaigns across, ensuring every campaign goes live on time, on budget, and to spec.
• Execute campaign setup including audience targeting, creative assignment, bid strategy configuration, and naming conventions in accordance with team standards.
• Perform thorough pre-launch QA to ensure tracking, creative, and targeting are correctly implemented across all campaigns and ad sets.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date budget pacing, campaign structure, and account organization across all active accounts.

Optimization & Performance

• Monitor campaign performance on a daily basis, flagging anomalies and opportunities to the Operations/Search Lead and recommending optimization actions.
• Execute in-platform optimizations including bid adjustments, audience refinements, budget reallocation, and creative rotations based on performance data.
• Support the build and execution of A/B tests, documenting results clearly and contributing to the team’s broader test-and-learn culture.

• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to summarize performance data in a way that makes sense to non-specialists.
