• Experience leading and developing middle management teams (Associate Directors, Group Directors, or equivalent).
• Strong fluency in performance marketing strategy, with the ability to critically evaluate media, creative, and programmatic work.
• Experience working in agency or consulting environments with performance-driven client portfolios.
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to connect operational execution to business outcomes.
• Excellent client leadership skills, including experience engaging with senior and executive-level stakeholders.
• Ability to build scalable operational systems for quality control, inspection, and performance improvement.
