• Performance Monitoring: Monitor campaign dispatches, confidently analyze core CRM metrics, and independently set up A/B tests to continuously optimize performance.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with design, copywriting, and broader CRM teams to ensure all campaign assets are delivered on time and match the strategic brief.
