- Translate insights into adjustments to content priorities, journeys, and channel plans, and report outcomes and recommendations to cross functional partners
- Evaluate emerging approaches, including AI-enabled personalization and next-best-action, and recommend where they would strengthen the content strategy

Governance & Compliance
