About the role

The Senior Manager, Strategy & Operations is accountable for the business performance of Factor US’s Paid portfolio (conversions, CAC, and ROI) and for the operating rhythm behind it: the forecast, the executive reviews, and the testing roadmap.

You will…

• Own the business performance of the Paid portfolio against plan: diagnose variance in conversions, CAC, and ROI, and recommend the priorities in collaboration with Global paid media channel owners
• Partner with Global paid media resources to translate performance gaps into channel-level actions, and escalate when required
• Act as the Growth team’s liaison with Finance for accurate P&L forecasting: build and refresh forecasts, surface risks early, and keep reported spend reconciled.
• Drive executive reviews for Paid, including weekly business reviews, QBRs, and annual business planning. 
• Own the channel diversification and lift testing roadmap: prioritize tests, question the design standard, read out results, and convert them into budget moves.
• Manage spend allocation within approved budgets across the Paid portfolio, continuously shifting dollars toward efficiency and ROI.
• Direct the day-to-day work of the Manager, Growth Channels (dotted line), including weekly review preparation, paid spend compliance and reporting accuracy, and diversification initiatives.

• Support Finance and Legal processes, including forecasting inputs and invoice approvals
• Use AI and automation to build reports, summarize performance, and speed up planning cycles.

You are…

• Accountable for outcomes you don’t directly execute: You get results from Global resources and a dotted-line team through clarity, credibility, and follow-through.
• A strategic operator: You build the system around the work (cadences, forecasts, test roadmaps), not just the analysis inside it.
• Analytical: You build forecasts, run retrospectives, and explain the story behind the numbers. You are fluent in CAC, CPA, CPM, CVR, LTV, and payback, and fast in Excel or Google Sheets.
• A coach: You develop managers through day-to-day direction and mentorship, and set a clear standard for rigor.
• A clear executive communicator: You write and present for Director, VP, and C-level audiences, with the answer first.
• Detail-oriented and results-driven: Forecasts reconcile, and measurable outcomes motivate you.
• Tech-forward: You actively use AI tools to work smarter.

At a minimum, you have…

• 8+ years in performance marketing or growth, with ownership of a multi-channel paid budget 
• Experience being accountable for paid performance results through partners or matrixed teams.
