• Translate objectives into strategy : map KPIs (VTR, CPV, CPM, ROAS, attention / quality metrics) to bidding, audiences, placements, and creative frameworks.
• Optimize with rigor : daily pacing and margin management, flighting, budget re-allocation, bid / budget automation, frequency control, inventory curation.
• Run structured experiments : build a testing roadmap (audience, creative, supply, bidding), define success criteria, and codify repeatable wins into playbooks.
• Leverage AI workflows : apply Perion Algo recommendations and insights to simplify ops, improve results, and surface opportunities for scale and upsell.
• Upsell signals → action : proactively identify expansion (new lines, formats, geos, objectives) and partner with Sales / CSM on proposals and QBRs.
• Raise the bar on quality : implement checklists, pre-launch QA, brand suitability, measurement consistency, and data hygiene across platforms.
• Tell a compelling story : convert performance data into clear narratives and next steps for clients; present in weekly / bi-weekly calls and QBRs.
