Job description

Description

The Social Marketing team focuses on ensuring the right content reaches the right customer wherever they are on social. We connect customers to relevant products through engaging, timely, and contextually meaningful experiences. We continuously evolve how products are discovered by translating customer behavior, trends, and platform dynamics into content that feels native, personalized, and aligned to how customers shop today.

We're looking for a Sr. Ad Operations Manager to own the operational backbone of our paid social program across platforms (ex Meta, Pinterest, TikTok, X, Snapchat, Youtube). Sitting at the intersection of marketing, creative, and technology, you'll be the primary liaison to our tech partners to unlock, test, and scale new ad formats and capabilities. You'll turn strategy into executable, measurable campaigns: partnering with social media apps (SMAs) to run experiments, safeguarding channel health across platforms, and making sure creative, tagging, site experiences, and ad formats are launch-ready and performing. This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives on ambiguous, end-to-end operational problems, sets the standards and processes others follow, and continuously raises the bar on campaign performance at scale.
