  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with the Strategy team to determine where marketing funding should be allocated and to assess the business impact of each campaign.
  • Upper-Funnel Growth: Develop and lead upper-funnel marketing initiatives (brand awareness, consideration) with a clear line of sight to how they translate into downstream conversion.
  • Market Intelligence: Conduct ongoing competitive analysis to track what competitors are offering, identifying gaps and opportunities to keep Kavak's proposition sharp and differentiated.

Requirements
