About the role

Full-Funnel Integration: Create frameworks that drive profitable, sustainable growth across all media channels.

Global Activation for NAM: Manage high-performing global Activation teams that support Kepler's North America business.
Standardization: Develop global best practices for campaign setup, optimization, and reporting to ensure "best-in-class" work is the baseline, not the exception.
