• Design how marketing data is structured, stored, and governed, partnering closely with MarTech, data engineering, and contractors to ensure infrastructure and pipeline decisions map back to business requirements 
• Bring enough technical fluency (SQL, data modeling, ETL concepts) to review technical designs, troubleshoot issues, and be a credible partner to the engineers and vendors building the infrastructure 
• Own the design and maintenance of centralized reporting and dashboards across the marketing funnel, ensuring a consistent, single source of truth for leadership 
• Lead cross-functional performance analyses at the CMO level, synthesizing data across channels and functions into a clear view of what happened, why, and what to do next 
• Prepare executive updates, business reviews, and strategic storylines for Marketing leadership and the C-suite, translating complex data into clear, action-oriented narratives
