• Analyze conversion by segment/offer/cohort to guide mail volume and offer economics
• Design and report on testing for each campaign, as well as basic performance metrics
• Maintain a feedback loop between campaign performance and sales ops to improve acquisition efficiency and cost per funded loan

Sales Team Leadership

• Lead a 35+ person team through two managers and team leads; hold managers accountable while empowering them to own day-to-day coaching
• Design team structure and coverage as headcount/channel mix evolve
• Run a metrics-anchored cadence (pipeline reviews, forecast calls, 1:1s); own hiring/onboarding, partnering with the training lead on ramp

Cross-Functional Alignment & Compliance

• Partner with compliance/operations to ensure sales practices meet consumer lending regulations
• Align with underwriting on approval rates and eligibility; escalate systemic issues to leadership

Required
