In parallel, you will oversee all external and internal communications to ensure consistent messaging and strong stakeholder engagement.

  • Solid experience in digital marketing ecosystems, including performance marketing, CRM systems, and analytics tools
  • Proven ability to design and manage end-to-end sales or enrollment funnels
