• Monitor performance and iterate headlines, framing, and placement to lift CTR, CVR, RPM, CPC and revenue opportunities.
• Collaborate with commerce editors, audience, SEO and partnerships teams to plan and prioritize.
• Track competitor coverage and surface new areas to win.
• Support major shopping events like Prime Day and Cyber Week with extended coverage as needed.
• Be willing to represent the commerce team in digital, video or social when appropriate and needed.

What You’ll Bring:

• Collaborative by default. Detail-oriented and accountable.

Nice to Have:
