What will help you succeed

Leadership

• Working knowledge of performance marketing, paid media, attribution, and digital analytics

• Familiarity with DTC, marketplace ecosystems, and omnichannel customer journeys

• Comfortable acting as the business owner on transformation projects (CRM, loyalty platforms, marketing automation, e-commerce) — setting requirements and driving adoption

• Interprets data to explain why performance moved, not just report that it did

Mindset

• Creates structure in ambiguous situations

• Takes ownership of problems without a clear home

• Builds solutions rather than waiting for direction
