This role sits at the intersection of Marketing, Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Branding. You’ll partner closely with stakeholders to define CRM strategy, prioritize initiatives, and deliver high-impact messaging experiences across email and SMS. You will balance day-to-day operational needs with longer-term platform evolution — including AI-driven personalization, experimentation, and cost efficiency.

Vendor & Third-Party Coordination (5%)
- Act as the liaison with third-party messaging providers (e.g., Twilio).
- Coordinate feature requests, issue resolution, and roadmap dependencies with external partners.
