• Build and maintain reporting that ranges from individual campaign performance to cross-channel and full-funnel views, enabling Marketing and cross-functional leadership to make data-driven investment decisions.

• Build, test, and continuously improve nurture and lifecycle programs, including segmentation, triggers, lead scoring, and A/B testing.
