Strong working knowledge of major biddable platforms (Google Ads, Search Ads 360, Bing, Meta Ads Manager, X Ads, or similar)
Advanced skills in Excel and PowerPoint
Familiarity with ad serving, tagging, and media billing tools is a plus
You’re a clear and confident communicator—equally strong in writing, presenting, and leading conversations with clients and teammates.
You thrive in fast-paced environments, staying flexible and adaptable when timelines shift.
You take a proactive approach to problem-solving, using critical thinking to find smart solutions.
You’re comfortable coaching teammates and contributing to a collaborative, supportive team culture.
