• Partner with global teammates, including North America, to align on paid social strategy, testing frameworks, and best practices across regions
• Analyze campaign performance and attribution data to surface actionable insights and optimization opportunities
• Continuously refine and improve paid social processes, documentation, and workflows to drive team efficiency and performance
• Stay up to date on paid social trends, platform updates, ad formats, creative best practices, and privacy changes impacting performance
