• Conduct audits and maturity assessments of client SFMC setups, highlighting strengths, gaps, and recommendations for improvement.
• Guide clients through deliverability strategies (IP warming, authentication protocols, BIMI, etc.).
• Ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, CAN-SPAM, and global privacy regulations.
• Ability to recommend personalization, content blocks, send-time strategy, and optimization techniques based on engagement insights.
  
  

Leadership & Team Management:

• Oversee and mentor operational teams managing client campaigns and journeys.
• Manage multiple client portfolios simultaneously, balancing priorities and ensuring quality execution.
• Empower teams with frameworks, playbooks, and training resources to scale delivery excellence.
• Foster a consultative culture where teams not only execute but also identify opportunities for innovation.
  
  

Cross-Channel Marketing & Innovation:

• Architect and execute strategies that span across Email, SMS, Push, In-App, and Social integrations.
• Experience using Mobile Studio for SMS/MMS setup, keyword management, short-codes, and opt-in flows.
• Provide cross-channel attribution insights, enabling clients to understand performance and maximize ROI.
• Recommend and implement advanced personalization frameworks to enhance customer engagement.
• Exposure to Einstein features such as Engagement Scoring, Send-Time Optimization, Content Recommendations, and Predictive Insights is a plus.
