  • Lead QA of lifecycle touchpoints across email and push, ensuring all personalization logic, dynamic content, and journey triggers perform as intended.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Analytics, Product, and MarTech teams to troubleshoot issues, implement updates, and ensure long-term platform scalability.
  • Champion a culture of experimentation and measurement by embedding testing strategies throughout lifecycle and CRM campaigns.
