More on the part

You set the strategy across every account in the POD, run the biggest ones yourself, and make the Media Buyers and Ads Assistants better through the work, not by taking it off them. And you ship one internal project at a time: an SOP, a testing framework or a tooling review.

Don’t tell us you’re passionate. Tell us what you did, what broke and what you’d do differently. That’s the application a founder remembers, and it’s the one I’ll pick up the phone for.
