Design and maintain complex lead-routing logic so ecosystem and cross-sell leads reach the appropriate sales team or account owner with the necessary context and service-level expectations. Establish measurement frameworks for multi-product attribution, cross-sell pipeline, attach rates, and incremental lift from journey and personalization experiments.

• Prioritization and Operational Excellence: Own the marketing automation roadmap and prioritization process, balancing business impact, available resources, performance data, and stakeholder needs. Manage request intake and team capacity through shared project management processes, with clear service levels and documentation. Balance immediate execution requirements with long-term platform scalability, and continuously improve planning, delivery, quality assurance, and measurement practices.
