QA, Compliance & Launch Readiness:

• Own campaign QA end‑to‑end, validating content accuracy, personalisation, segmentation, links, HTML rendering and delivery logic across all touchpoints.
• Ensure all campaigns meet CRM standards, brand guidelines and regulatory requirements – including state‑level requirements across MI, PA, NJ and WV, and Canadian compliance obligations.
• Monitor launches at key lifecycle and loyalty moments and proactively escape risks or issues as needed.
• Maintain CRM templates, QA checklists and build standards, keeping them current and fit for purpose.

Performance & Optimisation:

• Monitor campaign delivery and performance metrics, identifying issues and optimisation opportunities.
• Apply insights to improve execution across timing, segmentation and channel mix.
• Support multivariate testing and incremental experimentation, helping to translate results into strategy and campaign delivery improvements.
• Build and validate customer segments aligned to lifecycle stage, value / loyalty tier and commercial objectives.
• Partner with Data & Analytics teams to ensure accurate campaign setup, targeting and attribution.

Skills & Experience:

• 3–5 years’ hands‑on experience in CRM, lifecycle marketing or customer communications.

• High attention to detail with confidence owning QA and execution standards independently.
