  • Full-funnel ownership across at least two major paid social platforms, including hands-on campaign builds and audience strategy.
  • Strong creative strategy instincts and the ability to translate performance data into creative direction.
  • AI-fluent in practice, with a track record of using AI tools to accelerate briefs, copy, and analysis.
