• Deep understanding of automated search bidding strategies including tCPA & tROAS required.
• Exceptional analytical capabilities and the ability to turn trends into actionable insights and hypotheses.

• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (e.g. mathematics, statistics, computer science, etc.).
• Excellent leadership and collaboration skills (e.g., communicating, coordinating, building consensus, influencing without authority, listening, being open to other perspectives).

What you'll get:

• Effective your first day: Full medical, vision, and dental
• 15 days PTO (accrual begins on date of hire and increases with 2+ years of tenure thereafter), 12 paid holidays, plus one floating holiday
• Up to 14 weeks of parental leave
