About the role
DWA, Dentsu's performance marketing arm, is hiring a Performance Lead for its Bangalore team to run paid media programmes for marketplace sellers and clients. The role spans Search, Shopping, Programmatic and Marketplace Ads, with heavy emphasis on Flipkart and Amazon advertising platforms and supporting tools such as Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager and Google Analytics 4. The Performance Lead manages a pod of 5–10 Pod Leads, Executives and Analysts, guiding channel strategy, reviewing execution, building performance narratives from data and reporting to clients and leadership.
What you will do
- Deep expertise in at least one paid media channel — Search, Shopping, Programmatic, or Marketplace Ads — with the ability to guide strategy and review execution across all.
- Experience managing campaigns on Flipkart Ads, Amazon Sponsored Ads, or similar marketplace advertising platforms is a strong differentiator and highly preferred.
- Proficiency with tools like Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, Google Analytics 4 — and comfort with marketplace-specific tools (Helium 10, Amazon Pi, or Flipkart's own campaign manager).
- Proven ability to manage a team of 5–10 people — Pod Leads, Executives, and Analysts — and hold them to outcomes.
- Strong analytical mindset: comfortable building performance narratives from data, not just pulling dashboards.
- Clear, confident communicator — with clients in Business Reviews and with leadership in programme updates.
- Strong project management instincts: you can track multiple workstreams, spot risk early, and drive resolution without waiting to be told.
