About The Role
NewsBreak is looking for an analytical, growth-minded Account Manager to join our Ad Monetization team. In this role, you will manage a portfolio of performance advertisers across the eCommerce vertical.
Your primary focus will be driving account revenue growth through campaign optimization and scale, while leading cross-functional collaboration internally to champion platform improvements and drive client adoption of new ad products. As a trusted growth consultant, you will partner closely with advertisers, media buyers, and internal teams to maximize client ROI (ROAS, CPA, CAC) on NewsBreak.
Responsibilities
Revenue Growth, Campaign Optimization & Scale
- Own quarterly retention and revenue growth targets across your dedicated client portfolio, identifying high-value opportunities to unlock incremental budgets.
- Continuously monitor, analyze, and optimize performance campaigns to ensure advertisers consistently meet and exceed target KPIs (ROAS, CPA, CPI, LTV).
- Provide proactive, data-driven optimization strategies across bidding tactics, audience targeting, conversion funnels, and creative refresh cycles to scale daily ad spend.
- Conduct regular performance reviews and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), translating complex campaign data into compelling, revenue-generating stories.
- Identify spend barriers early, troubleshoot attribution gaps, and execute structured save and re-activation plans for at-risk or stalled accounts.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Product Advocacy
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Ad Operations teams to serve as the voice of the customer, translating client feedback into actionable platform improvements.
- Drive platform adoption by educating clients on NewsBreak's latest bidding algorithms, native ad formats, targeting tools, and measurement solutions.
- Lead product testing roadmaps and alpha/beta programs, collaborating cross-functionally from technical setup and campaign launch to post-test evaluation and feedback loops.
- Troubleshoot complex technical integrations (pixels, SDKs, server-to-server tracking) alongside internal ad ops and technical teams.
Minimum Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in account management, customer success, or performance media buying within digital advertising or ad tech.
- Proven track record of growing account revenue, optimizing campaign performance to scale spend, and driving product feature adoption.
- Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Ad Operations teams to resolve client issues and influence feature roadmaps.
- Deep technical understanding of biddable auction advertising, ad server technology, pixel setup, and event tracking/attribution.
- Strong analytical skills: ability to turn raw performance data into actionable campaign optimizations and revenue opportunities.
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with experience delivering data-backed QBRs to client decision-makers.
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Economics, or related field.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience managing campaigns in the eCommerce / DTC (ROAS/CPA) verticals.
- Hands-on experience scaling ad spend on self-serve auction platforms (e.g., Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, Google Ads).
