Lead regular Joint Business Planning (JBP) dialogue and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to consult on client business needs, present marketplace insights, and align strategies for continuous renewals.
Act as a consultative project manager, guiding direct enterprise-level advertisers and complex agency ecosystems smoothly through full-funnel activation.

Collaborate weekly in Pipeline & Pacing meetings to monitor active campaign delivery performance and align on upcoming launches.
Work directly with Ad Operations and internal media agency teams to ensure flawless product order implementation, technical tracking setup, pixel strategies, and swift troubleshooting in major ad servers and order management platforms.
Oversee campaign optimization parameters to maximize performance against client benchmarks (CPA, CTR, cLPV, viewability, view-through rates) and present data-backed recommendations to unlock incremental budgets.
Provide clients with sophisticated performance analysis, performance storytelling, and comprehensive post-campaign wrap reports leveraging industry-standard reporting platforms.
Navigate campaign escalations and contribute to long-term solutions that prevent similar issues in the future.
Contribute to monthly billing, contract validation, and invoicing workflows alongside finance to ensure exact revenue recognition.
