•Establish and maintain a clear “definition of done” for all tasks, ensuring quality control before any campaign goes live.

Performance & Strategy

•Focus on improving lead quality, cost per quotable lead (CPQL), and lead volume consistency through rigorous testing and analysis.

•Oversee all aspects of budget management, including pacing and forecasting, to prevent any end-of-month surprises.
