Execution Oversight
- Oversee day-to-day execution managed by Specialists, ensuring timelines, accuracy, and quality standards are met.
- QA tracking setups, reports, and creator activations prior to delivery.
- Troubleshoot escalated creator or tracking issues in partnership with internal teams.
Reporting & Insights
- Own reporting and performance analysis for assigned workstreams or programs.
- Translate data into clear, actionable insights aligned with client KPIs.
- Support QBR preparation and performance reviews.

- Experience supporting client relationships and strategic initiatives.

- Hands-on experience with CreatorIQ (or similar platforms), Excel/Sheets, and project management tools.
- Confident communicator with growing presentation skills.
