You will work closely with sales, product, operations, engineering, finance and creative services. You will need to balance multiple competing priorities. The successful candidate will be highly analytical and inventive, able to use creative problem-solving skills to move quickly from ideation to implementation and/or resolution.

• Support global product and sales initiatives and actively provide sales with brand and product support required to win new business 
• Partner with and support Sales Excellence and Sales Operations initiatives as necessary 
• Handle multiple projects and details without losing sight of the ‘big picture’ 
• Be proactive and able to move forward in a fast-paced, somewhat ambiguous environment where processes and procedures are not always completely detailed 

Who you are:

• Significant work experience in online advertising, business management and/or product management/marketing 
• Ability to balance multiple priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, with a strong bias for action 
• Validated ability to work with multiple internal organizations requiring clear communication, evangelism and compromise 
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of interacting across all levels of the organization and with external partners 
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with a proven ability to use numbers and metrics to back up assumptions and evaluate outcomes 
• Experience working directly with sales, engineering, creative services, and operations teams 
• Understanding of and experience working with digital marketing channels
• Understanding of media buying/planning cycles and Internet ad systems (Doubleclick, PointRoll, etc.) a plus
