• Build and maintain a rigorous A/B testing and incrementality framework across creative, audiences, landing pages, and bidding strategies.
• Partner with creative, analytics, product, and divisional teams to develop high-converting ad assets, landing experiences, and audience strategies tailored to automotive enthusiast behavior.
