  • Execute integrated dealer campaigns aligned with sales objectives, including content scheduling, performance tracking (e.g., engagement, utilization, sales lift, SPIFF redemption rates), reporting, and adjustments to optimize outcomes.
  • Maintain and update internal and dealer communication channels, cascading marketing updates, brand standards, POS availability announcements, and program details to stakeholders and the dealer network via email, CRM notifications, newsletters, or other tools.
  • Coordinate with key vendors, agencies, and external partners for POS production, creative services, printing, logistics, Marketing Materials Website maintenance, and SPIFF reward fulfillment—handling day-to-day interactions, tracking deliverables, quality assurance, cost monitoring, and performance feedback.
  • Analyze dealer materials and promotion performance data (e.g., download metrics, inventory turnover, SPIFF participation/expenses/redemptions, campaign feedback, usage reports) to generate insights, support monthly/quarterly reporting, identify improvement opportunities, and recommend optimizations.
  • Ensure strict adherence to brand guidelines, corporate trademarks, legal requirements, and compliance standards.
