• Monitor live campaigns and analyze performance data to identify optimization opportunities across multiple accounts
• Translate campaign data into clear insights and explain the rationale and impact behind optimization decisions

• Provide internal teams with guidance on campaign setup, trading, optimization, and platform best practices
• Contribute to scalable processes and best practices that support consistent, high-quality campaign execution
