Requirements

• Channel Fluency: Proven track record managing diverse media types, including OTT/CTV, Streaming Audio, and Traditional Linear/Radio.
• Advanced Tactics: Expert knowledge of remarketing and advanced targeting (dynamic creative, CRM, lookalike, and predictive modeling)
• Strategic Vision: Ability to map data partners to the customer journey—activating contextual signals for awareness and deterministic identity for conversion.
• Communication: Exceptional presentation skills, with the ability to tell a compelling story through data for high-growth performance accounts.

• Strategic Planning: Identify target audiences by analyzing demographics, movement patterns, and digital interests to build data-driven profiles.
• High-Impact Buying: Evaluate and purchase digital media through major programmatic platforms (such as StackAdapt, Basis, DV360, MNTN) and PMPs.
• Performance Leadership: Own the measurement framework for assigned accounts, translating complex data into actionable insights focused on incrementality, Lifetime Value (LTV), and Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC).
• Client Management: Lead executive-level client calls and QBRs, articulating how the channel mix (from high-impact CTV awareness to lower-funnel Remarketing) maximizes reach and manages frequency.
• Operational Excellence: Take ownership of complex ad server setup (trafficking), pixel creation (CAPI), and quality assurance across all media types.
• Vendor & Partner Relations: Facilitate relationships with premium publishers and audience providers (e.g., Experian) to secure preferred pricing and first-to-market alpha/beta opportunities.
