- Test new advertising products, platform features, and commercial formats as part of UAT and product launches.
- Identify opportunities to automate or simplify operational processes.

- Help maintain training materials, processes, and documentation for internal and external teams.
- Work closely with Account Management, Product, Engineering, Ads Policy, and external partners to keep campaigns running effectively.
