  • Bring together behavioral, contextual, and performance data to power personalization, targeting, and decisioning.
  • Drive operational excellence through automation, remove manual work, build reusable tools and APIs, and accelerate decision-making.
  • Find efficiencies and links across initiatives, proactively raise concerns, and prioritize tradeoffs with limited guidance from leadership.
  • Cultivate strong cross-functional relationships across Sales, Revenue/Advertiser Growth, Business Intelligence, Finance, Product, and Engineering to align on use cases, KPIs, and business impact.
  • Mentor peers, contribute to team-wide standards and best practices, and help shape team culture.
