You'll report to the Team Lead Performance, working closely with Paid Search, CRM, and Creative.

This role suits a proactive builder who owns outcomes, builds structure where none exists yet, and knows what makes people stop scrolling — turning data into high-converting creative briefs.

• Creative Strategy & Briefing: Analyze creative performance (hooks, transitions, CTAs), repurpose top-performing content, and brief our designers, content agency, and creators directly.
• Campaign Architecture: Build smart account structures on Meta
• Budget Management: Reallocate spend fast based on data to scale winners and cut underperformers.
• Testing & AI: Run structured tests, turn results into repeatable playbooks, and bring a forward-looking mindset to AI/automation in campaigns and reporting.
• Reporting: Track CAC, AOV, LTV, and funnel metrics using our attribution model and Sales Channel data; share insights with the team.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Align with Paid Search, CRM, and Creative on strategy and messaging.

• Comfortable managing 6-digit monthly budgets.
• Creative eye for social-first video/content and native platform trends.
• Fluent in KPIs: Hook Rate, CPC, stop-scroll rate, CAC, AOV, LTV.
