- Track record scaling a measurable acquisition or retention channel with real commercial impact (CAC, ROI, incremental LTV)
- Fluent in the economics: you size, forecast and defend a channel on unit economics and LTV, not volume
- Comfortable running the operational side: creative briefs, print/mail production, logistics and vendor management
- Strong grasp of targeting and measurement: segmentation, holdouts, incrementality testing, attribution
- A commercial communicator who can earn the trust of finance, data, product and engineering
- Demonstrable use of AI in your workflow (analysis, creative, modelling, automation)
