• Demonstrated ability to manage multi-million dollar budgets with efficiency and strategic rigor.
• Confident communicator with experience presenting to senior stakeholders and cross-functional partners.
• Comfort in a fast-paced, high-stakes growth org - with a bias for action, experimentation, and results.

• Translate customer insights and performance signals into an experimentation roadmap—driving a continuous test-and-learn culture across audiences, creative, and platforms.
• Oversee all aspects of campaign management—including budget pacing, bid optimization, creative iteration, audience segmentation, and platform best practices.
