SUMMARY:
We’re looking for a highly driven Performance Marketing Specialist who thrives in results-led environments and knows how to turn paid media spend into measurable revenue.

Google Ads certification with hands-on experience running campaigns tied to sales performance
Exposure to multiple paid platforms, including search, social, and other digital advertising environments
Highly analytical mindset with the ability to act decisively on performance insights
