Monitor conversation and sentiment around the brand, amplifying positive momentum and flagging what needs attention.
Track performance daily, test constantly, and translate platform data into weekly and monthly reporting that drives decisions.

Strong stakeholder management skills, keeping brand, communications, and leadership aligned while maintaining platform speed.
Fluency in platform analytics and testing, making publishing decisions based on data.
