Senior Ad Operations Strategist

We are seeking a Senior Ad Operations and Attribution Strategist to own conversion tracking and measurement architecture across our client portfolio. This full-time role leads the design, implementation, and governance of conversion tracking and digital measurement frameworks across a wide array of paid media platforms, and serves as the agency's most senior technical resource for Google Tag Manager, GA4, and attribution accuracy.

• Maintain tracking documentation, event taxonomies, naming conventions, and standardized UTM structures across the client portfolio.

• Govern data quality and privacy in the tag layer, including PII redaction and consent-state behavior.

• Serve as the technical authority on which conversion tracking work is included in standard marketing and web scopes versus what requires additional scope, and apply that standard consistently across accounts.
