• Experience in ad tech, social media marketing, or performance advertising
• Knowledge of media buying KPIs (CPM, CTR, ROAS, etc.)
• Familiarity with sales tools (Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Clay, Apollo, Lusha, etc.)
• E-commerce/Shopify experience
• Creative pitching and storytelling (e.g., Canva)

How You'll Make An Impact
