You'll maintain and continuously refine our QA processes to ensure campaigns launch accurately, on time, and in compliance with data privacy requirements. - Maintain channel health - Build and maintain automated alerting systems that allow the team to detect and respond to campaign issues quickly. Monitor email deliverability, maintain IP health, and proactively surface recommendations for improvement. - Elevate the team's capabilities - Become the go-to resource for CRM tooling and platform capabilities.
