A day in the life
Your morning starts with a partner sync shaping how AI-powered Ad formats replace traditional search targeting approaches for optimization. Before your coffee gets cold, you're reviewing an ML model classifying millions of queries into intent channels with scientists. After lunch, you're sizing a campaign across WW marketplaces, then pivoting to a social commerce API integration review. You'll juggle external partners, science teams, marketing managers across countries, and engineering sprints — often in the same hour. If you thrive in organized chaos and get energy from connecting generative AI, programmatic advertising, and real-time bidding — this role is for you.
