The ability to quickly pivot, making real-time decisions about budget reallocation to realize opportunities, will be quintessential to success.
• You will ensure necessary tracking for affiliate programs on the web and mobile, including UTM parameters, link tracking on mobile (experience with a Mobile Measurement Partner), and instrumentation with technical teams as needed to ensure full ROI visibility.
