- Strong understanding of performance marketing metrics and measurement (CPA, ROAS, CAC, LTV, conversion rates, funnel analysis).
- Ability to translate data into clear actions: strong Excel/Google Sheets proficiency and comfort with dashboards and reporting.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills—able to align creative, marketing, and product stakeholders around priorities.
- Organized, self-directed, and comfortable working with multiple teams and campaigns simultaneously.
