• Design and implement a structured testing framework across audiences, visual hooks, offers, and landing pages to combat creative fatigue and improve CAC/ROAS.

• Collaborate with creative teams to guide data-driven briefs, analyzing an existing library of 100+ ad assets to identify and scale winning educational video concepts.

• Lead a two-person performance pod by directing the execution of the junior media buyer while taking strategic ownership of overall channel ROI and cross-channel attribution.

• Deeply analyze platform, conversion, and funnel analytics to report performance metrics to leadership and optimize cross-channel touchpoints during major PR/TV events and Amazon launches.

• Native-level or fluent written and spoken English with full alignment to full-time U.S. Eastern Time business hours (Required).

• Experience directing or mentoring junior media buyers or performance team members (Preferred).

• Experience leveraging AI tools to accelerate data analysis, ad copy ideation, and rapid testing workflows (Preferred).
