•
Partner with internal teams across Marketing, Product, Tech, Research, and external agency partners to explore insights and uncover and amplify meaningful stories.

Track record of shaping narratives from insight to impact (not just executing campaigns or launches).
•
Exceptional writing and media pitching skills.
•
Strong collaboration skills across Marketing, Product, Tech, Research, Trust & Safety and agency partners.
•
