- Translate Data Into Actionable Growth: Synthesize complex data into growth recommendations, ensuring insights inform both pre-sales strategy and in-flight optimization, and help sales teams build high-impact, outcomes-driven narratives and QBRs for top-tier accounts pacing at $1M+
- Serve as Offerings Subject Matter Expert: Act as the Subject Matter Expert for premium and high-intent services (such as CTV, advanced Programmatic, Search, and Social), ensuring clear guidance on how inventory, audience, and channel/tactic strategies should be positioned and executed
- Build Multimedia Training Resources: Transition the team away from text-heavy technical guides by producing visual micro-content, video walkthroughs, and plug-and-play frameworks to reduce internal ambiguity and drive consistent execution

- Maximize Offshore Capacity: Partner with leadership to maximize the efficiency of offshore resources (Cybage), defining clear execution protocols to shift technical button-clicks and HTML tasks away from internal team members without compromising strategic fidelity
- Define Execution Best Practices: Establish workflows for how the IMS team interprets brief data, builds media plans, and manages campaign pacing, ensuring tactical execution and optimization align with the approved inventory, audience, and channel strategy
