The Sr. Associate

Brings the execution lens to an integrated Performance Marketing pod. Working closely with your Manager, you own campaign build, trafficking, daily optimization, pacing, and QA across performance marketing channels, with an emphasis on paid social, while building fluency in the overarching media plan and strategy so you can speak to both sides of the work.

What You'll Do Here:

• Launch, monitor, optimize, and report on media campaigns across paid social channels, with the potential to manage paid search and programmatic campaigns where clients require.
• Own daily optimization, budget pacing, and in-platform troubleshooting to keep campaigns on plan and on target.
• Build and traffic campaigns accurately, owning self-QA before every launch.
• Analyze performance data to refine tactics, and surface in-platform signals, risks, and opportunities to your Manager.
• Support media planning with actuals, reallocations, and audience execution against the strategic media plan.
• Run campaign experimentation across audiences, creative, and bidding to identify what drives performance.
• Evaluate creative and recommend adjustments aligned to platform best practices and client objectives.
• Join internal and external calls, speaking directly to tactical detail and in-platform campaign structure.
• Be a key contributor in performance platform calls, clearly articulating active and upcoming campaign plans and implementing platform provided recommendations where applicable.
