• Ensure data accuracy, deliverability best practices, and database health in partnership with Marketing Operations.
• Define scalable processes, documentation, and governance standards to support consistent, repeatable execution.
• Establish KPIs tied to engagement, conversion, and pipeline contribution, and analyze performance to identify optimization opportunities.
