• Fluency in performance marketing metrics (CPA, ROAS, CTR, CVR) with the ability to use data to make fast, confident optimization decisions.
• Experience independently managing significant paid social budgets with a rigorous approach to efficiency, pacing, and forecasting.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to clearly articulate performance narratives and creative hypotheses to cross-functional partners and leadership.

• Experience in working with Meta product catalog feeds.
• Experience in consumer or diner marketing, e-commerce, or a two-sided marketplace environment.
• Familiarity with incrementality measurement methodologies (e.g., geo-based lift tests, holdout studies) and third-party measurement tools.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, lean team environment where you own your roadmap and manage your own priorities.
