• Marketing Cloud Administration and Deliverability. Own configuration, data extensions, permissions, integrations, QA, scheduling, deployment, sender reputation and list health.
• Direct Mail and Vendor. Run direct mail (for example de novo launches and reactivation) from audience selection and creative through print vendor, suppression and deduplication, address quality, timelines, budget and reporting. Coordinate with the Marketing Coordinator.
• Measurement and Reporting. Define the measurement plan and KPIs for lifecycle marketing strategy.
