• Lead with performance. Build and execute high-impact, integrated strategies across SEO, Paid Search, and Paid Social designed to drive qualified leads, revenue growth, and lasting ROI.
• Bring the data to life. Use GA4, Looker Studio, and advanced analytics to translate insights into compelling stories that guide client decisions.
• Inspire and elevate. Mentor and empower our SEO, Paid Media, and Analytics teams to deliver work that turns heads and moves metrics.

• Confident with data-driven decision making, forecasting, and performance reporting.
• Commercially sharp - able to manage budgets, deliver growth, and speak the language of ROI.
