This role carries full ownership of a growing revenue line, with the autonomy to make strategic and operational decisions in real time. You'll be responsible for your team's performance, growth, and output, coaching and developing direct reports while continuing to drive results through your own hands-on contributions. We're looking for a leader who thrives in a player-coach model: someone who can build and elevate a team without stepping away from the work itself.</p> <h2><strong>Responsibilities</strong></h2> <h3><strong>Revenue Ownership</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Own the reactivation revenue number across all brands and report on it directly to the CDO</li> <li>Decide which audiences to reactivate, at what volume, and through which channels</li> <li>Identify new monetization opportunities in audience data, including cross-brand and cross-channel pathways</li> <li>Balance revenue growth against deliverability and sender reputation risk</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Audience Strategy and Scoring</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Work with data and brand leaders to refine how we identify and prioritize high-value dormant users</li> <li>Design and run tests to validate reactivation approaches before scaling</li> <li>Build repeatable, automated workflows so reactivation runs continuously rather than manually</li> <li>Expand into audience segments that have not been activated yet</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Deliverability and Infrastructure</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Own warmup and scaling strategy for new IPs and sending domains</li> <li>Ensure verification and hygiene processes are in place before any audience enters a send workflow</li> <li>Monitor deliverability across major ISPs and adjust sending behavior in real time</li> <li>Manage ESP configuration and performance across platforms</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Data, Analytics, and Reporting</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Own the reporting framework for reactivation performance across all brands</li> <li>Design engagement scoring and segmentation models, not just consume dashboards others build</li> <li>Analyze campaign and pipeline performance to identify trends, risks, and opportunities</li> <li>Present results and strategic recommendations to messaging leadership on a regular cadence</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Cross-Functional Collaboration</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Partner with the P&G messaging team, infrastructure team, and audience monetization leads</li> <li>Coordinate with deliverability and operations on ESP configuration and send execution</li> <li>Collaborate with executive leadership on growth strategy and capacity planning</li> <li>Consolidate reactivation ownership that is currently spread across multiple teams into a single, accountable function</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Leadership and Team Development</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Lead direct reports with accountability for their output, growth, and effectiveness Develop team members into stronger individual contributors and future leaders</li> <li>Build systems and operating rhythms that make the team better over time, not just in the moment</li> <li>Model the standard you hold the team to: no gap between expectation and behavior</li> </ul> <h2><strong>What This Role Requires</strong></h2> <p>This is a player-coach environment.
