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.

What You'll Do:

  • 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.

What You've Done:

  • Experience in Product Management, Program Management, Growth, Performance Marketing, Ad Tech, marketplace products, or another data-driven commercial environment.
  • A track record of translating strategy into an executable roadmap and leading cross-functional delivery without direct authority.
  • Strong analytical judgment, with the ability to define meaningful metrics, assess experiment quality, understand attribution limitations, and connect performance data to commercial outcomes.
  • 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.
  • Experience with paid-search campaign structure, bidding, tROAS, elasticity, search ads, sitelinks, or international market performance at a large marketplace is a plus.
  • Experience with experiment design, measurement, attribution, or revenue and profit-efficiency analysis is a plus.
  • BS or MS in STEM, Economics, Psychology or close equivalent required.

What We Offer:

  • Accelerated Growth Environment: An environment designed for swift skill and knowledge enhancement, where you have the autonomy to lead experiments and tests on a massive scale.
  • Top Tier Compensation Package: Competitive base, equity, and upside that tracks with your impact.
  • Flexible Time Off: Enjoy unlimited Flex Time Off, giving you the flexibility to manage your schedule and take time to recharge as needed.
  • Comprehensive Benefits Package: Prioritize your well-being with a comprehensive benefits package, featuring 401k, and premium Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance options.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
