• Marketing Strategy Support: Help define, manage, and report out team OKRs, including tracking progress, coordinating check-ins, and producing regular reporting for leadership and cross-functional partners.

• Executive Communications: Develop strategic presentations and reports that communicate marketing priorities, results, and recommendations.
