– Manage marketing execution across paid, social, content, and partnership channels

– Track campaign performance against KPIs and report out on results and learnings

– Work with Growth and analytics to optimize campaigns based on performance data

– Support always-on content calendars alongside campaign moments

**Cross-Functional Collaboration**

– Partner with the Senior Brand Manager to keep campaigns aligned with brand positioning and guidelines

– Work with Product and Partnerships on go-to-market plans for new launches and features

– Coordinate with CRM/lifecycle teams to ensure consistent messaging across owned channels

– Bring market and consumer insight into campaign planning and briefs
