Job Description:

Deep expertise in at least one paid media channel — Search, Shopping, Programmatic, or Marketplace Ads — with the ability to guide strategy and review execution across all.

Experience managing campaigns on Flipkart Ads, Amazon Sponsored Ads, or similar marketplace advertising platforms is a strong differentiator and highly preferred.

Proficiency with tools like Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, Google Analytics 4 — and comfort with marketplace-specific tools (Helium 10, Amazon Pi, or Flipkart's own campaign manager).

Proven ability to manage a team of 5–10 people — Pod Leads, Executives, and Analysts — and hold them to outcomes.

Strong analytical mindset: comfortable building performance narratives from data, not just pulling dashboards.

Clear, confident communicator — with clients in Business Reviews and with leadership in programme updates.

Strong project management instincts: you can track multiple workstreams, spot risk early, and drive resolution without waiting to be told.

What Sets You Apart

You have run end-to-end marketplace advertising — from seller onboarding through campaign activation and performance review.

You have managed large advertising spends (₹1 Cr+ per month) and know how to keep pacing, quality, and ROI in balance simultaneously.

You have built programmes or processes from scratch — scrums, reviews, SOPs — not just inherited them.

You think in seller outcomes, not just campaign metrics. You know that a healthy seller business drives healthy ad spend.

You are comfortable being the "accountability anchor" — the person the team comes to when things are stuck, and the person leadership comes to when they need a clear picture.
