  • Master the Details : Keep budgets, invoicing, forecasting, and documentation sharp and accurate.

  • Paid media fluency : You’ve managed campaigns in Google Ads, Meta, and other major platforms.
  • Platform savvy : In-platform experience with GA, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and dashboards is second nature.
  • Financial command : Comfortable owning budgets, forecasts, and client-level profitability.
  • Strategic chops : Proven success driving performance in highly regulated industries
  • Natural team leader : You’re comfortable leading a team with depth, heart and passion.
  • Presentation-ready : A confident communicator—written, visual, and verbal.
  • Deeply Analytical : You live in the numbers and make decisions that move the needle.
  • AI-native : You don’t just dabble—you apply AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, or Perplexity to work smarter and faster.
  • Detail-obsessed : You never let the small stuff slide and can juggle complex, high-volume accounts without blinking.
  • What’s in it for you?
