1. Proactively identify operational inefficiencies and implement solutions—streamlining marketing processes through automation and GenAI technologies.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

1. Assist the Head of Marketing Operations with monthly reporting, ensuring accuracy and actionable insights.
2. Work closely with global team members to share best practices and troubleshoot marketing tools, acting as an evangelist for digital technology across the business.
