EXPERIENCE: Minimum 4 years experience with Native advertising. Proficiency in data analysis and making campaign decisions based on your own analysis. At a minimum, expertise with Taboola or Outbrain

YOUR ROLE

You will contribute to and eventually own our Native media buying efforts (Taboola, Outbrain, Revcontent, and more) for multiple brands within Launch Potato’s portfolio of companies. Your expertise in pairing creative media with ROAS KPIs and direct-to-consumer (DTC) data analysis will positively influence more than 10 million new customers to unlock their financial potential. This position is an opportunity to manage a tremendous Native Advertising budget across many verticals and brands.

(This role will NOT support Social Media Buying, it will purely focus on scaling our Native Media Buying efforts and your profile needs to reflect this)

You need to be someone who has an analytic mindset, proactive problem-solving skills, and an impeccable eye for detail. You’re not afraid to think outside the box and have a hunger for testing.
