You’ll connect brand and performance marketing to member growth, revenue, and brand health, creating a measurement system that ladders up to business objectives. Partnering with strong data teams and media partners, you’ll leverage AI to accelerate insights, optimize paid media, and guide investment decisions that move the business.

+ Operationalize **campaign performance optimization** for paid media (search, social, video, display, retail media, affiliates), providing channel‑level reallocation recommendations that improve ROAS/LTV.
+ **Drive Decisions**
+ Lead a **Marketing QBR** that synthesizes brand + performance results, clarifies trade‑offs, and recommends what to **scale, pivot, or stop** —with quantified business impact.
+ **AI‑Powered Intelligence**
+ Use AI to speed insight generation (e.g., automated QA, anomaly detection, forecasting updates, creative/offer insights, narrative drafting).
+ Reduce time‑to‑insight and increase signal quality through automation and methodology upgrades.
+ **Brand Strategy Measurement**
+ Build a **brand performance framework** that links awareness/consideration/preference to near‑term outcomes and long‑term value.
+ Enable **scenario planning** that connects MMM outputs, budget choices, and expected business results.
+ **Team & Partnership Leadership**
+ Coach analysts and cross‑functional squads; set standards for analytical rigor, storytelling, and stakeholder engagement.
+ Orchestrate ways of working across the two Senior Manager roles, agencies, Media, Brand, Finance, and Data Science.
+ Embed privacy, compliance, and ethical data use in every workflow.
What You’ll Bring
+ **Measurement depth across brand + performance:** Hands‑on experience with **MMM** , incrementality testing/experimentation, and **campaign performance optimization** across paid media channels.
+ **Performance marketing fluency:** You understand channel mechanics and how to translate platform and partner data into **cross‑channel investment decisions** .
+ **AI forward:** Practical experience **leveraging AI** to automate analysis, generate insights, improve forecasts, or accelerate narrative creation—and a curiosity to scale new AI capabilities with our data partners.
+ **Executive storytelling:** You turn complex analysis into **clear, persuasive narratives** that drive alignment and action at senior levels.
+ **Builder’s mindset:** Comfortable launching a **new function** —designing taxonomies, governance, and cadences that stick.
