Execute on onsite UX improvements and 'shoppable' ad features to ensure a frictionless journey from ad interaction to conversion.
Partner with Ad Delivery on identity matching and Data & Measurement to ensure all consumer interactions are correctly instrumented.
Define the long-term architecture for emerging ad formats that leverage unique data signals to drive user intent.
