• You are confident with the KPIs that matter: reach, engagement, CTR, CPA, ROAS, promo code revenue, ROI; Strong Google Sheets and Excel skills are a must

• Native or fully fluent French is mandatory. You will be writing briefs, negotiating deals, and communicating daily with creators. Professional English is required. German is a plus but not mandatory
