• Unified Performance Reporting: Partner across the MarComm to synthesize marketing analytics from our website, digital advertising accounts, social platforms, and Salesforce CRM—turning raw data into actionable insights that optimize ROI and shape future campaign strategies.
• Vendor Ecosystem Management: Lead the relationships, contract evaluations, and troubleshooting with track MarTech platforms to maximize our organizational investments.

ABOUT YOU
