- Build scalable content and tools (e.g. pitch decks, one-pagers, videos) that enable internal teams and external campaigns
- Act as the voice of the customer in cross-functional discussions across product, experience, rewards, and marketing
- Partner with sales, product, and regional marketing to ensure alignment and adoption of messaging and tools
