• Partner with in-house creative team to keep a steady flow of new assets in market, and identify creative fatigue before performance drops
• Support on writing ad copy when needed
• Build and maintain property catalogs and feeds powering dynamic and travel-format ads
• Hands-on experience setting up Meta catalog ads and building product sets in Ads Manager — you've done this yourself, not just briefed someone else to
• Work with direct-booking sites as the primary conversion destination

• Be able to pull reports and analyze top performing creatives on a monthly basis to inform the creative team on what’s working

• Use AI tools to accelerate research, audience insight, creative iteration, reporting, analysis, and workflow automation

• Demonstrated fluency in Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads; working proficiency in at least one of LinkedIn Ads or TikTok Ads
