Management Experience\:  You should already know how to hire, inspire, lead and keep a team of smart people. How to foster an inclusive and high-trust environment.

Advanced MS Excel skills and a passion for data driven marketing, including vlookups, hlookups, pivot tables, macros.

SEM/PLA bid management platform expertise\: SA360 (preferred), Kenshoo, Marin Software
