Manage campaign creation across copywriting, design briefs, and building within Salesforce Marketing Cloud (email platform) and Attentive (SMS platform).

Lead the email marketing program in Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

Manage fan database growth strategy, identifying and executing new ways to increase the size and quality of the club’s opted-in audience.

Partner cross-functionally to ensure list-growth opportunities are built into the fan experience, including matchday signage, concourse activations, stadium touchpoints, digital experiences, and other opportunities to capture fan information and consent.

Establish testing and optimization roadmaps across subject lines, creative, offers, calls-to-action, send times, segmentation, cadence, and journey structure to continually improve engagement and conversion.

Analyze campaign and audience performance, going beyond surface-level metrics to understand unique clicks, conversion rates, revenue, purchase behavior, unsubscribe rates, list growth, and the incremental impact of lifecycle communications.

Build a clear measurement framework for lifecycle marketing, creating reporting that connects campaign engagement to ticket purchases and broader business outcomes.

Manage SMS strategy and execution as the club expands its use of Attentive, developing appropriate segmentation, messaging, cadence, and use cases across the fan lifecycle.

Build scalable lifecycle infrastructure, including campaign calendars, audience frameworks, journey maps, testing plans, reporting templates, and CRM playbooks that improve the team's ability to operate at scale.
