Is This Role For You?

- You genuinely enjoy mentoring and see team growth as a core win—not just hitting numbers
- You're methodical about process but flexible about approach; you can balance rigor with agility as the org evolves
- You believe AI is the future of Paid and want to lead that shift for your team, not just adopt tools passively
- You're a solo contributor at heart who doesn't energize from developing others—management feels like overhead
- You default to blame when things go wrong instead of debugging processes and coaching through problems
- You see Paid as siloed; you're resistant to thinking holistically about SEO, CRM, Creative, and other levers
