Is This Role For You?

  • You're comfortable translating strategy into creative briefs and can partner effectively with agencies and internal creative teams
  • You obsess over data and metrics but won't let perfect be the enemy of shipped; you design experiments, analyze results, and scale winners fast
  • You've managed cross-functional initiatives, built alignment with executives, and can operate both strategically and tactically
Won't Work If
  • You need to work remotely or hybrid; this role is on-site in NYC
  • You're primarily a performance/paid marketing operator; you need to own brand strategy and upper-funnel creative vision
