• Commerce Discipline Leadership: Serve as the senior technical reference and knowledge lead for the commerce activation discipline, ensuring company and operational standards are consistently adopted across teams and accounts. Strengthen capability through coaching, enablement, and knowledge-sharing, and lead executive-level decisioning on high-impact, cross-account technical risks and trade-offs to ensure scalable, high-quality outcomes.

• Strong analytical, tactical, and real-time decision-making skills. Ability to analyze campaign data on the fly and make quick, logical decisions on "where to run budget and why," backboned by a deep understanding of the operations.


• Proven experience in client relationship management, acting as a trusted strategic advisor who can translate complex technical retail media operations into business growth strategies for clients.


• Ability to work collaboratively and lead cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.


• Excellent communication and presentation skills in English and Spanish (Professional Fluency/C1-C2 is required).
