• Own the preparation and accuracy of campaign performance reports, surfacing results and pacing updates to the Account Manager for client delivery.
• Partner with Campaign Management and Finance to reconcile billing, delivery, and revenue discrepancies.
• Maintain up-to-date records of booked revenue, flight dates, and campaign changes to ensure accurate financial reporting.
• Provide proactive visibility into any pacing or delivery concerns that may impact revenue or performance to Account Management and Sales.

• Proficiency in Excel and familiarity with ad sales systems such as Freewheel, Operative One/AOS, Wide Orbit, Broadway, Prisma, or Google Ad Manager.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a commitment to operational excellence.
