• Champion Martech integration: Collaborate with the Martech and Data teams to embed new tools, ensure seamless integration, and drive full utilisation of our marketing technology stack.
• Ensure accurate tagging, tracking and reporting: Partner with Technology and Analytics teams to maintain a robust tagging and tracking framework, ensuring data integrity and high‑quality reporting across all digital activity
