• Optimize with data: Track and analyze key metrics (CAC, activation, retention, LTV, funnel performance), adjusting strategies to maximize ROI.
• Market intelligence: Stay on top of industry trends, competitive activity, and regulatory changes to identify and capitalize on growth opportunities.
• Champion the brand: Ensure all campaigns and communications reflect Capio’s value and resonate with diverse global audiences.

• Proven ability to move seamlessly from strategy to execution.
• Strong analytical skills with experience in funnels, A/B testing, and performance dashboards.
