You’ll be responsible for managing live media buys and supporting performance reporting that drives strategic decision-making. Here's how you'll make an impact:

Campaign Execution & Optimization

• Launch, QA, and optimize paid campaigns across Meta (primary), Google Search, and YouTube.
• Execute on a defined media roadmap alongside the Head of Growth, contributing insights while maintaining consistency.
• Monitor campaign performance daily, adjusting budgets, pausing underperformers, and ensuring naming conventions are followed.

Performance Reporting & Analysis

• Own weekly and monthly performance reporting for Meta and Google platforms.
• Analyze campaign data by platform, creative, audience, and demographic to identify trends and anomalies.
• Investigate drops in performance due to fatigue, frequency, or targeting gaps, and provide actionable summaries.
• Export data from platforms and run analyses using Google Sheets or Excel (pivots, VLOOKUPs, SUMIFs).

Project Coordination & Documentation

• Maintain campaign performance decks and internal documentation.
• Consolidate test learnings and campaign insights into clear, executive-ready slides.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including lifecycle, creative, analytics, and email to align execution across the funnel.
