Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with the growth, design and sales to align messaging with campaign goals.

• Monitor email KPIs (open rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, unsubscribe rate, revenue per email) and report weekly on performance and optimisation opportunities.

• Ensure compliance with PDPA, SSG guidelines, and email marketing best practices.

• Help identify list growth opportunities and manage email hygiene and deliverability.

• Stay updated on AI tools, automation strategies, and best-in-class lead nurturing practices.
