* Deep expertise across search, social, programmatic, affiliates, with success scaling new channels.
* Strong grasp of digital attribution, incrementality testing, and customer journey measurement.
* Proficiency in GA4 (essential); experience with Looker Studio, Power BI, or Tableau is an advantage.
