• →

• Has personally owned a funnel or lifecycle metric, can state its starting value, its ending value, and the specific interventions that moved it.

• Prioritizes by size of prize rather than by ease or by what is already in flight. Kills work that is not paying.

• Takes a position on what to do next and defends it with data.

• Has built automated, multi-channel customer journeys in Braze or a comparable Tier-1 CRM: onboarding, activation, and early retention.

• Understands multi-channel orchestration across push, WhatsApp, email, and in-app, including frequency capping and fatigue management.

• Knows the difference between a friction problem and an intent problem, and treats them differently.

• Can launch a campaign directly from a brief when Marketing Operations is at capacity, without needing supervision.

• Writes SQL without help: joins, aggregations, window functions, and cohort construction against a warehouse (Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or comparable).

• Builds and monitors activation cohorts and retention curves. Reads a funnel and identifies the drop-off that matters.

• Uses data to tell a story that leads to a decision, not to fill a slide.

• Designs tests with holdouts and knows why. Separates incremental lift from what would have happened anyway.

• Runs ROI analysis on campaigns and incentives: cost per incremental user, payback, and return by segment.

• Connects every decision to GMV and to unit economics.

• Has managed at least one direct report, or has clear evidence of leading a workstream and growing the people on it without formal authority.

• Sets expectations in advance, gives feedback continuously, and does not use a formal process as a substitute for a conversation that should have happened earlier.

• Has won prioritization from a product team by building the case, not by escalating.

• Keeps Brand, Operations, Product, and business-unit teams aligned on scope, timelines, and dependencies from kickoff to launch.

• Escalates rarely, and always with a recommendation attached rather than a problem.

• Operates at AI-L3 (Builder) or above on Addi's AI Fluency Ladder: builds reusable workflows, playbooks, or automations that other people adopt, not just personal prompting.

• Uses Claude, ChatGPT, or comparable tools as a daily working layer for analysis, briefs, segmentation logic, and reporting.

• Identifies where AI removes meaningful work from the team's week and implements it without being asked. Does not use AI as a substitute for thinking.
