• Bridge Strategy and Execution: You won't just identify problems; you'll fix them. You will identify operational bottlenecks and build the workflows that allow the Alcohol category to scale smoothly across hundreds of cities
• Collaborate to Win: Partner closely with Marketing, Sales, and Legal to ensure our campaigns are high-impact, brand-aligned, and fully compliant within the unique regulatory landscape of the alcohol industry
