• Plan Ownership: Translate insights into actionable go-to-market plans that connect strategy to execution across both national and retailer-led initiatives.
• Internal Enablement: Provide guidance to internal teams (e.g., media, creative, marketing leads) to ensure deliverables ladder up to strategy and meet both client and retailer expectations.
• Measurement & Optimization: Work with RMNs, Vendors, and analytics partners to define success metrics, evaluate impact, and recommend plan optimizations.
• Team Support & Growth: Coach junior team members and contribute to building a center of excellence for retail knowledge within the agency.
