[Hiring] Advertising Manager @Rockstar

Role Description

Rockstar is recruiting for a marketplace management firm that specializes in operating brands' presence on Amazon, Walmart, Target Plus, and other channels. They are seeking a manager to lead their advertising and media program for a portfolio of client brands.

The role involves:

• Running the advertising and media program for a portfolio of client brands.
• Leading analysts who execute the advertising strategy.
• Planning quarterly and annual media strategies and budgets.
• Reviewing performance with analysts and making necessary adjustments.
• Identifying growth opportunities in accounts.
• Owning outcomes rather than effort.

Qualifications

• 5+ years creating, managing, and optimizing Amazon Sponsored Ads campaigns (Sponsored Products, Brands, Brands Video, Display) and Amazon DSP campaigns.
• Experience leading digital advertising teams — hiring, coaching, reviewing, holding a standard.
• Hands-on experience pulling insights from Amazon Marketing Cloud and acting on them.
• Strong analytical skills; comfortable building your own models and reasoning about incrementality, attribution, and significance.
• Media planning, budget forecasting, and sales forecasting experience.
• Depth in PPC management and optimization, and in programmatic display.
• A track record of new-to-brand acquisition and consistent incremental sales growth, with numbers you can walk us through.
• Clear writing and speaking, including presenting media plans to client senior leadership and getting agreement.
• Honesty by default: you report the number you wish were different, and you persuade by being prepared rather than polished.

Requirements

• Google Data Studio / Looker Studio and SQL, particularly for AMC queries.
• Agentic AI workflows — using AI to speed up analysis and build tooling.
• Walmart Connect and/or Target Roundel campaign management.
• Retail fundamentals: Buy Box, inventory health, catalog integrity, promotions, subscriptions, and how each limits what advertising can do.
• Agency or multi-brand portfolio experience.
• Advanced Excel and bulk operations; Python or scripting a plus.

Benefits

• Real latitude over strategy, budget, and team operations.
• Opportunity to partner with Strategy & Implementation Team and Design Team.
• Focus on growth and new audience identification.
