Partner closely with creative, product, analytics, and engineering teams to improve conversion funnels and user experience.
Oversee marketing automation, audience segmentation, and lifecycle marketing initiatives, including retargeting strategies.
Provide mentorship and guidance to junior team members and contribute to building best practices across the team.
Stay ahead of industry trends in digital advertising, attribution, privacy changes, and marketing technologies — particularly within the automotive and consumer finance space.
