Digital Advertising Operations • Oversaw end-to-end execution of digital advertising campaigns on Google and X, ensuring correct campaign structures, budget adherence, and objective alignment for every active ad set. • Introduced a billing oversight process for advertising accounts that eliminated payment lapses and prevented campaign disruptions previously caused by lapsed billing cycles. • Maintained advertising account health and access governance, reducing risk of unauthorised access and ensuring continuity of active campaigns. Data Analysis & Executive Reporting • Delivered executive-ready performance reports synthesising e-commerce, advertising, and systems data to support leadership decision-making and strategic planning. • Identified actionable trends and ROI gaps through structured data analysis, enabling the business to reallocate advertising spend more effectively. • Established a regular reporting cadence that gave stakeholders consistent visibility into platform performance, risks, and improvement opportunities. Process Improvement & Documentation • Authored SOPs and operational documentation covering IT, e-commerce, and advertising workflows, improving team continuity and reducing dependence on undocumented tribal knowledge. • Identified and championed automation opportunities across repetitive operational tasks, freeing up team capacity for higher-value strategic work. • Served as the central coordination point between IT, marketing, finance, and leadership — improving cross-functional communication and reducing operational bottlenecks.
