• A search expert. An individual who knows Google search inside and out. They are a platform expert and have a proven track record for knowing what does and doesn’t work in the search space. 
• A creative problem solver. Someone who takes initiative in bringing new media thinking and pushing the media strategy to create greater potency for the creative idea.
• A data whiz. Unlocking truly unconventional insights comes from a mix of art and science. It’s not only about crunching the numbers, but also insights that can inform or change the trajectory of a business. Someone who has the ability to distill complex information (like LTV, ROAS, conversion attribution analysis, etc.) into a concise and clear narrative. 
• A radical collaborator. The kind of person that’s more comfortable in a creative brainstorm than sitting behind a screen. We need this person to become comfortable working with varying expertises, departments and backgrounds. They listen to differing perspectives and bring their thoughts forward. 
• An entrepreneur. We’re on a journey to do what’s never been done before, we need someone who wants to continually be learning, re-thinking the process, creating new tools and challenging the status quo. We need someone completely unafraid of change and ready to excel in ambiguity.
