• Track partnership campaign performance including customer acquisition, engagement metrics, and ROI to optimize ongoing programs and inform future partnerships.
• Manage ongoing partnership performance through regular check-ins, performance reporting, and optimization recommendations.
• Identify opportunities to expand existing partnerships through new campaign initiatives, program extensions, or additional collaboration areas, and coordinate partnership renewals based on performance.
