  • Build and maintain performance dashboards in Looker Studio that give real-time visibility into spend, ROAS, CPA, CTR, CVR, and revenue contribution by channel.
  • Conduct deep-dive analyses to identify performance trends, audience fatigue, creative decay, and budget inefficiencies before they become problems.
  • Connect paid media performance directly to e-commerce outcomes — revenue, AOV, new customer acquisition, and return rate — not just platform metrics.

Cross-Channel Strategy

  • Develop and maintain the overarching paid media strategy across Meta, TikTok, and Google Ads — defining channel roles, audience architecture, funnel structure, and content strategy for each.
  • Own the affiliate marketing program end to end — recruit and onboard new affiliate partners, manage commission structures, monitor affiliate-driven revenue, and analyze partner performance to prioritize top contributors.

  • Pull and organize raw performance exports from each platform into structured Excel files for the Analyst's weekly and monthly reporting.
