Manage relationships with advertising platforms, agencies, and other paid media partners. Partner across Demand Generation, Product Marketing, Vertical Marketing, ABM, and other marketing teams to align paid media strategy with business priorities. Provide direction and quality assurance for campaign builds, trafficking, tracking, and other execution support provided by the Marketing Coordinator.

Experience 5+ years of experience in paid media or digital advertising, with significant hands‑on experience managing B2B Paid Search. Experience managing Google Ads and Google Demand Gen campaigns at scale. Experience managing paid campaigns across channels such as LinkedIn, Meta, TikTok, Display, and CTV.
