  • Strategic Planning & Client Support: Support the development of commerce media and programmatic activation strategies aligned with client business objectives.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to deliver integrated media recommendations and activation plans.
  • Translate campaign data into actionable insights and strategic recommendations.
  • Assist in preparing client-facing reports, presentations, and performance recaps.
  • Stay current on platform innovations, retail media developments, and emerging commerce marketing opportunities.
  • Team & Partner Collaboration: Mentor and support Specialists and Senior Specialists by providing guidance on campaign setup, optimization, reporting, and troubleshooting.
  • Collaborate closely with internal commerce, analytics, planning, and client service teams.
  • Manage relationships with platform partners and vendors to identify performance opportunities and stay informed on product enhancements.
  • Contribute to process improvements and operational best practices across campaign execution and reporting workflows.
  • Operational Excellence: Ensure campaign quality through rigorous QA and attention to detail. Manage campaign timelines, trackers, budgets, and documentation. Support accurate financial reconciliation and vendor savings tracking. Maintain organized reporting structures and documentation standards across accounts.

Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of experience in programmatic advertising, retail media, commerce media, or digital media activation.
  • Hands-on experience managing campaigns within Amazon DSP and The Trade Desk.
  • Experience working within retail media, commerce media, eCommerce, omnichannel marketing, or performance media environments.
  • Strong understanding of audience targeting, bidding strategies, campaign optimization, and media performance measurement.
  • Experience building reports and presenting campaign insights to internal stakeholders and clients.
  • Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills, including Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, formulas, and data analysis.
