  • Lead virtual platform demos, member onboarding, and brand representative trainings that ensure brand partners and members extract full value from the platform, measured by training completions and engagement following each touchpoint
  • Design and execute on-brand gifting and surprise-and-delight programs that deepen loyalty with high-value members and firm contacts, measured by gifting ROI tied to retention and engagement
  • Track territory KPIs and surface field intelligence on firm needs, competitor activity, and product gaps, giving leadership clear visibility into performance and shaping how marketing and product show up in the region
