Being successful in this role requires mastery of the DTC function, mastery of the Meta channel (with proven in‑platform experience managing eight‑figure budgets), and a clear understanding of how paid media drives omni‑channel business growth. Critical functions in your first 90 days include auditing the department’s service offerings alongside the CEO, ensuring alignment across Darkroom’s broader portfolio, and implementing operational processes that scale.

Proven Meta expert — managed $10M monthly spend and scaled eCommerce brands across Beauty, CPG, Apparel, and Skincare.

Prior experience leading media teams within top‑tier agencies (Power Digital, MuteSix, Tinuiti, Metric Digital, WPromote) or scaling internal brand media functions. Mastery of the DTC P&L, contribution margin, and how traffic, CPM, CVR, and AOV interact to drive growth.
