  • Understand and explain attribution model across retail search partners
  • Fostering relationship with internal teams (Media, S&A and other capabilities) and external teams while managing multiple client stakeholders
  • Developing and maintaining quality control procedures for campaign implementations
  • Understanding and effectively communicating our value proposition, technology, and processes as related to the growth of current and prospective agency accounts
  • Adopting established account management standards and program management best practices
  • Participating in regular sessions to share and learn new strategies for optimizing and enhancing campaign performance
  • Active knowledge sharing with capability and broader agency
  • Embracing and encouraging a culture based on teamwork, collaboration, and intellectual curiosity
  • Contribute to Commerce COE to support capability development across the agency
  • Assisting in the development and documentation of best practices for improving communication and collaboration within the team and the group

Qualifications

  • A four-year degree and 5 to 7 years of digital media experience, 4+ years of SEM / e-Commerce / Shopper Marketing experience
  • Prior experience managing direct report(s) preferred
  • Strong familiarity with the digital environment and a clear understanding of media planning and buying process (multi-channel knowledge and Criteo, Target, Amazon, Walmart, Kroger, etc. search or display experience preferred)
  • Keen attention to detail and an analytical approach to achieving objectives
  • Strong understanding of media research tools - you know their strengths / weaknesses, and when and how to effectively use them (i.e., Edge, Gradient, PriceSpider, Content Analytics, Stackline, Feedvisor)
  • Understanding and experience with campaign automation tools (i.e., Skai (Kenshoo), Pacvue)
  • Solid quantitative and research skills, and proven data interpretation capability
  • Fluency with Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
  • Excellent client presence and ability to lead discussions with internal and external leadership
  • Strong ability to understand client objectives and how they translate into search and media strategies
  • Excellent communication and writing skills—you’re poised, precise, and above all, kind when relating to others
  • Willingness to travel as needed - you’re open to new places, new faces and new ideas
  • Familiarity with prompt-based interaction and commonly used generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini, DALL
