- Analyze why ads succeed or fail and submit data-backed requests to the creative team for the development of new, higher-performing assets.
- Own the "Source of Truth" for data; utilize third-party tools to validate platform metrics and ensure we are optimizing for revenue and return.
- Continuously find new pockets of scale while maintaining CPA targets.
- Report weekly to leadership not just on "stats," but on business impact—translating ad performance into revenue projections and strategic recommendations.
