About the Role

ShftX is hiring an Advertising Manager to lead paid advertising strategy across quick-commerce platforms. You'll own budget and performance for our advertising programs, build a team of performance marketing executives, and work closely with category, supply chain, design, and analytics teams to grow visibility and sales across our quick-commerce presence.

This is a leadership role suited to someone who understands hyperlocal retail — dark-store inventory, city-level demand shifts, and fast campaign iteration — and is ready to own strategy, budget, and team outcomes.

What You'll Do

Strategy & Budget Ownership

Campaign Management

- Manage bidding, budget pacing, and placement strategy by city and store

Reporting & Analysis

- Deliver regular performance reporting (CTR, CPC, CPA, ROAS, and revenue by market)
- Build dashboards to track spend efficiency and platform trends
- Turn data into clear recommendations for category and supply chain teams

Team Leadership

- Hire, manage, and coach a team of performance marketing executives
- Set goals, review performance,



and build team capability on ad platforms and tools

- Run structured A/B tests on creative, copy, and audience segments

Cross-Functional Work

- Partner with analytics on tracking and attribution
- Represent advertising in leadership and platform partner discussions

What We're Looking For

- 4–7 years in performance marketing or advertising on e-commerce or quick-commerce platforms, including 1–2 years managing a team
- A degree in marketing, business, or a related field is preferred but not required if you have equivalent hands-on experience
- Hands-on experience managing large advertising budgets on major quick-commerce platforms
- Strong understanding of hyperlocal retail dynamics — inventory, demand patterns, fast iteration
- Solid grip on bidding strategy, keyword/placement management, and campaign structuring
- Comfortable owning budget targets and reporting on spend efficiency
- Experience leading or mentoring a small team
- Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills; comfortable with dashboards and BI tools
- Clear communicator, organized, and able to manage multiple markets and campaigns at once
