  • Will be required to routinely or customarily troubleshoot items related to the platform that require independent judgement, decision-making, and unique approaches
  • No previous online advertising experience required, but those with experience or internships in online advertising or technology are encouraged to apply
  • Effective time management skills – ability to prioritize and meet deadlines
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including an ability to explain complex subjects to a non-technical audience. #LI-LM2
