About the role

We're hiring a Director, Audience Solutions and Activation to deliver custom audience solutions to clients in the CPG space. You'll take a client brief or RFP, figure out exactly their needs, build the solutions with our data, using AI tools, and package it so our account managers and business development team can win the business.

What you'll do

• Turn briefs into audiences. Translate RFPs and requests from our account managers and business development managers into custom audience solutions. Build with AI tools, review SQL queries and counts, and adjust levers like lookback windows, purchase frequency, and category breadth to reach the right scale without losing precision.
• Own the taxonomy. Know our data dictionary and audience taxonomy inside out, keep audiences consistent, and recommend which segments to add, cut, or redefine.
• Deliver and tell the story. Be CE’s audience expert internally and support the Commercial team by producing client-facing recommendations and answering RFPs.
• Track what's working. Monitor audiences, and spot trends that point to new audiences clients will value.
• Shape the AI workflow. Partner with engineering and product teams to improve the AI tools the team uses, working toward an AI agent that builds audiences.

What you'll bring

• 5+ years in ad tech, retail media, or data marketplaces, in audience roles (e.g., creation, activation vs. insights)
• Hands-on SQL experience (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks or similar), and the ability to review and edit AI-generated queries, sanity-check counts, and fix audience definitions
• Experience working with clients in CPG, grocery, convenience-store, snacks, beverages
• Hands-on experience building audience segments for activation, LiveRamp usage; proficiency with DSPs and marketplaces
• A strong feel for how audiences are defined and sized, and how to trade precision for scale
• Strong storytelling and client presentation skills
• Comfort using AI tools as an everyday part of your work

Nice to have

• Background at a CPG purchase-data or shopper-audience company, a retail media network, or an audience and identity provider 
• Exposure to campaign measurement and attribution
