Client Relationship Management

  Company).

• Interpret campaign performance trends and translate them into recommended actions (creative, targeting, budget allocation, KPI strategy).

Internal and External Communication

Budget, Forecasting, and Reporting (Client-Facing Owner)

• Own client-facing budget pacing conversations and ensure alignment on utilization, flighting, and expectations for campaigns.

• Flag margin or performance concerns and drive mitigation plans with Revenue Ops leadership.
