You’re hands-on in platforms, love structured testing, and know how to translate business goals into smart media and creative levers powered by AI.

What You’Ll Do

• Own end-to-end trading for YouTube & Meta: campaign design, launch, pacing, optimization, QA, brand safety, and reporting.
• Translate objectives into strategy: map KPIs (VTR, CPV, CPM, ROAS, attention/quality metrics) to bidding, audiences, placements, and creative frameworks.
• Optimize with rigor: daily pacing and margin management, flighting, budget re-allocation, bid/budget automation, frequency control, inventory curation.
• Run structured experiments: build a testing roadmap (audience, creative, supply, bidding), define success criteria, and codify repeatable wins into playbooks.
• Leverage AI workflows: apply Perion Algo recommendations and insights to simplify ops, improve results, and surface opportunities for scale and upsell.
• Upsell signals → action: proactively identify expansion (new lines, formats, geos, objectives) and partner with Sales/CSM on proposals and QBRs.
• Raise the bar on quality: implement checklists, pre-launch QA, brand suitability, measurement consistency, and data hygiene across platforms.
• Tell a compelling story: convert performance data into clear narratives and next steps for clients; present in weekly/bi-weekly calls and QBRs.
• Enable the team: mentor traders, share best practices, and contribute to internal tools, macros, and SOPs that make the team faster and more accurate.

What You Bring

• 3-5+ years hands-on media trading across YouTube (Google Ads/DV360) and Meta Ads Manager for US advertisers (brand and/or DR).
• Proven ownership of large, multi-line campaigns (six- to seven-figure budgets), with strong results on KPI delivery, margin management, and scale results.
• Expert understanding of digital KPIs & mechanics (CPM, CPV, CTR, VTR, ROAS, reach, incrementality, attention/quality signals) and how to move them.
• Comfort with auction dynamics, learning phases, creative testing frameworks, and supply curation (inventory, placements, brand safety).
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets (pivots, lookups; basic modeling). Nice to have: SQL or Python for analysis/automation; Looker/Tableau/GA4.
