Position Summary

We're seeking a detail-driven, analytically sharp Digital Marketing Manager to own execution of growth campaigns, lifecycle marketing, paid and organic media coordination, and cross-functional project management.

This role works at the intersection of ecommerce, retail, product, development, creative, and media. If marketing campaigns are the engine, this role keeps every piston firing on time, on spec, and on budget — while continuously finding ways to make the engine run faster.

• Own timelines, requirements, testing, approvals, and launch readiness across concurrent campaigns.

• Serve as day-to-day contact for developers, production partners, and media vendors.

• Maintain campaign documentation in Asana; proactively surface risks and resolve gaps.

Performance Reporting & Optimization

• Maintain weekly performance reporting across all assigned campaigns and Deliver weekly performance reports with clear insights and action plans — not just data.
