You’ll also be the primary point person for all client inquiries, making recommendations on all aspects of the ad campaign. This includes modifying copy, pacing, targeting parameters, and analyzing ongoing campaign performance to make each campaign perform at its best during the entire time it runs across Mozilla.

You will work closely with the Sales team to see campaigns from planning to launch and be solely responsible for activation and post campaign activities. Our clients rely on the judgment of our Account Managers, and this role is crucial to the success of long-term client relationships and Mozilla’s ultimate revenue goals.

• Internally, you will also provide recommendations to the product team on how to evolve the design of ads in Pocket and features to build in our ad-serving technology stack based on your synthesis of client feedback.
• Join or lead campaign kick-off and check-in calls to establish campaign details and success metrics, and to discuss ongoing performance and optimization
• Work with our tight-knit, collaborative team on RFPs by checking inventory and advising sellers on how to position Mozilla and create compelling campaign proposals
• Review and approve brands and assets that will run on Mozilla surfaces, working closely with the Editorial team to make sure we are adhering to our content guidelines

What you already have:
