WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Success in Your Day to Day Looks Like

- Aggregate program performance metrics and present weekly and monthly reporting with actionable insights and recommendations to improve future performance.
- Indirectly manage a Retention Production Specialist to ensure on time delivery of assets, best-in-class creative, and pixel-perfect execution and deployment.
Success in Your First Three to Six Months Looks Like
- Act as the primary retention point of contact for a portfolio of new or existing client relationships, ensuring each client’s scope of work is fully utilized monthly for a maximum return on investment.
- Develop and begin executing against annual strategic initiative roadmaps for each of your clients, clearly communicating how each initiative will move the needle on customer retention and LTV.
