• You think beyond individual campaigns and channels, focusing on how marketing can influence consumer behaviour and deliver measurable business impact.

• You can bring teams together around shared goals and collaborate effectively with Product, Analytics, Data Science and Marketing partners.

• You are comfortable balancing long-term strategy with hands-on execution, adapting your approach as you learn what works.
