• Collaborate cross-functionally with creative, analytics, sales, and product teams to align strategy and accelerate growth outcomes.
• Develop scalable playbooks, frameworks, and testing methodologies to systematize video campaign growth across channels.
• Communicate performance insights and strategic recommendations clearly and consistently to stakeholders and executive leadership.
• Continuously identify opportunities for optimization, automation, and expansion across emerging video platforms.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in performance marketing, digital media buying, or growth marketing roles with significant ownership of revenue outcomes.

• Proven success in lead generation environments such as insurance, financial services, affiliate marketing, or call-based acquisition models.
• Deep expertise in in-platform execution, including campaign architecture, bidding strategies, audience targeting, and conversion optimization.
• Strong understanding of performance video creative strategy, including hooks, storytelling, funnel alignment, and platform-specific best practices.
• Experience managing multi-vertical media buying with the ability to adapt strategy across distinct customer journeys and monetization models.
• Strong analytical skills with proficiency in BI tools (e.g., Looker, Google Analytics) and advanced Excel/Sheets.
• Demonstrated P&L ownership with accountability for profitability, ROAS, and scalable growth performance.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate performance data into clear, actionable business insights.
