Senior Ads Strategist (Pod Lead)

Role Overview

At Tealbox Digital, this role combines deep paid media expertise with direct client-facing responsibility. You will own strategy across Meta and Google Ads while acting as the primary platform voice for a multi-stakeholder client.

This is a principal-level individual contributor role focused on platform depth, structured thinking, and mentorship. You will not own commercial decisions or P&L, but you will be responsible for platform strategy, execution direction, and how it is communicated to the client.
