  • Manage execution end-to-end: Own campaign planning, vendor coordination, and operational readiness from list pull through in-market performance.

  • Be the customer advocate: Ensure mail creative and offers are clear, compliant, and trust-building, setting the right expectations for customers from first touch.

  • See the full picture: Use data to connect mail performance to downstream outcomes like activation, spend, retention, and credit performance.

  • You’re deeply analytical and comfortable working with SQL and Python day-to-day to evaluate funnel performance and segment level unit economics.

  • You understand prescreened acquisition strategies, and how marketing and credit policy intersect.
