- Emerging Platform Experimentation - Research and test new and emerging marketing platforms and formats, running small-scale pilots to evaluate viability and recommend opportunities for broader adoption.
Qualifications:
- Currently pursuing a degree in Marketing, Finance, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a related quantitative field

- Strong written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration
- Proactive, curious, and comfortable learning new platforms and tools quickly
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with AI-powered marketing tools (e.g., generative AI for creative production, AI-driven media buying/optimization platforms)
