About the Role

• Perform quality assurance checks on all ads, landing pages, and tracking setups before campaigns go live
• Keep campaign documentation, naming conventions, asset libraries, and internal records organized and up to date
• Research audience segments, competitor ads, and platform trends when requested, and share findings with the team

• Assist with any additional paid media tasks as needed to support the team’s goals
