Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've managed paid media budgets across Facebook/Google and can prove ROAS improvements or cost reductions
  • You love email marketing and understand segmentation, personalization, and testing to drive revenue
  • You're scrappy—comfortable with tight deadlines, high-pressure situations, and wearing multiple hats
  • You're data-obsessed: you live in Google Analytics, dashboards, and making decisions based on real metrics
  • You want to build fan loyalty and drive ticket sales in a sports/entertainment setting where your work directly impacts the bottom line
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility; this is 100% on-site in Houston
  • You lack hands-on experience with paid media platforms (Facebook, Google Ads, etc.) or email marketing tools
  • You prefer brand awareness campaigns over performance-driven, revenue-focused digital marketing
