• Partner with CSs and commercial teams during the pre-sales and scoping process, as required, to validate feasibility, effort, timelines, dependencies, and resource requirements
• Ensure proposed creative and media strategies can be implemented effectively within platform, operational, and technical constraints
• Support the delivery of client-facing plans, timelines, SLAs, and implementation frameworks.
• Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and serve as an escalation point for delivery-related concerns
• Use delivery data, operational metrics, and AI-supported insights to improve forecasting, team productivity, quality, client experience, and business outcomes
