- Build and launch YouTube campaigns in DV360, including formats like YouTube Mastheads, YouTube Select, and Pause ads.
- Monitor daily performance, check campaign pacing, and reallocate budgets or adjust targeting mid-flight when needed.
- Manage YouTube Studio operations, including uploading assets, adding copy and metadata, tracking video approvals, and managing visibility settings.
- Quality-check campaign builds and support the setup of Brand Lift studies and testing activity.
