- Drive personalization and recommendation strategies leveraging platforms such as Dynamic Yield, Nosto, Bloomreach, etc.
- Track and report on performance of tests, product placements, content updates, and layout changes—turning insights into clear action plans.
Cross-Functional Leadership & Quality Control - Work with Creative and Content teams to ensure merchandising assets are consistent with brand standards and support the user journey.
