About The Team

The Acquisition team is responsible for helping fans around the world discover the incredible live events available across StubHub and viagogo. Paid Search is a core acquisition channel within that ecosystem, requiring close coordination across Product, Data Science, Analytical Engineering, Software Engineering, and Operations. We work across Google and Bing to continuously improve campaign performance, measurement, experimentation, and the underlying tools and workflows that enable the channel to operate effectively at scale. Our work balances near-term commercial performance with building durable systems, knowledge, and capabilities that allow us to make faster and better decisions over time.

Responsibilities

• Translate Paid Search priorities into a clear experiment and delivery roadmap, maintaining the experiment calendar, capacity view, hypotheses, success criteria, launch gates, dependencies, and readouts.
• Coordinate delivery across Data Science, Analytics, Engineering, and Operations, surfacing risks early, resolving dependencies, sharing context, and keeping decisions moving.
• Help protect and improve our Google and Bing portfolio through campaign structure, bidding and tROAS optimization, sitelinks, ad copy, and other performance levers.
• Own the operating tools that make performance visible and execution faster, including dashboards, alerts, workflows, documentation, experiment readouts, and AI-enabled analysis and automation.
• Partner on attribution, policy, and measurement challenges, ensuring important problems have a clear owner, decision path, and method for validating whether solutions are working.
• Translate financial and commercial goals into clear prioritization and execution decisions while preserving the context and rationale behind those decisions.
• Build durable knowledge across Google and Bing so experiments, platform behavior, attribution rules, policy constraints, and historical learnings are easy for the team to find and reuse.
• Define useful metrics, assess experiment quality, and connect performance data and channel behavior to commercial decisions.
• Champion a culture of thoughtful experimentation and rapid execution, helping the team move quickly while maintaining high standards for measurement and learning.

• Experience with Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising, or demonstrated ability to quickly learn and operate within complex advertising platforms.
• Technical fluency with dashboards, data workflows, APIs, or automation, and the ability to work effectively with Data Science and Engineering partners.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, strong organization, and the ability to create momentum in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• A practical and curious mindset with the ability to bring useful external knowledge, platform developments, and industry best practices into the team.
