Responsibilities
Own the performance control layer. Lead a DS/analytics team responsible for autotuners, pacing systems, and real-time campaign health—turning model output into stable delivery and margin
Build reliability into revenue. Define and own performance and reliability SLOs, alerting, and a single-pane dashboard that makes pacing and margin issues obvious before they impact spend
Kill discrepancies at the root. Run deep forensics across clicks, impressions, and conversions to identify root causes and ship durable fixes—not one-off workarounds
Prove what actually drives lift. Design and run incrementality experiments (A/B, PSA control, geo-lift), interpret results, and publish clear, client-ready readouts that inform decisions
Translate models into operations. Partner with Science to set constraints and guardrails, and with Trading to operationalize changes safely in live environments
Set the operating standard. Establish incident response, postmortems, and playbooks that enable fast recovery, clear ownership, and continuous improvement
