- Control budget allocation, targeting, and bidding to drive ROI.
- Spot, test, and scale new platforms before they're obvious.

- Turn data into decisions, not just dashboards.

- Keep a steady pipeline of test variants moving through platforms.
- Turn creative performance signals into sharp briefs and next-test priorities.
- Know the major measurement frameworks (MMM, MTA, incrementality, last-click) cold — including where each one lies to you.
- Bring experience standing up or evolving measurement practices that match the business, not just the textbook.
- Help define what "good measurement" looks like for Helcim as we scale.
- Consistently optimize & find those compounding incremental wins and chase the unlock.
- Help build and protect a real testing and growth culture on the team.
- Work across product, sales, design, dev, and ops — bring people along, don't dictate.
- Share what you know. Elevate the people around you. Check your ego at the door.
- Jump in on launches, incidents, and rollouts when the team needs it.
