• Either have hands-on experience buying ads on Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads Manager, or experience quickly learning digital platforms.
• Have a knack for conceptualizing or designing eye-catching and well-composed graphics that move people to action.
• Very comfortable using Excel/Google Sheets to organize and analyze data to drive future strategy.
• Communicate clearly and promptly when you have questions or face obstacles at work.
• Remain open to feedback and learning, adaptable amidst ambiguity, positive, accountable, and believe no task is too big or small.
• Natural collaborator who is excited and comfortable partnering within and across teams to execute complicated projects.
• Must be in or be willing to relocate to D.C. and work in-person five days per week.
• Willing to work late evenings, weekends, and on a rapid response basis to capitalize on significant moments.
