The Right Person For This Role

• Understands that successful marketing is not measured only by clicks and impressions, but by real-world business outcomes
• Comfortable operating in a collaborative but accountable environment
• Able to work across multiple markets while collaborating with strong operational leaders
• Capable of coordinating strategy and performance without losing sight of local customer experience
• Understands that vendor participation and engagement contribute directly to the energy and success of the marketplace
