Acting as the strategic Product Manager and commercial authority for promotional programs, this leader bridges the gap between deep financial analytics, carrier account sales teams, and Go-To-Market (GTM) execution. The role requires rigorous data analysis—dissecting invoice-level data, carrier subsidy splits, sell-out lift elasticities, and complex promotion structures (such as tiered trade-in matrices and premium rate-plan restrictions)—to establish actionable promotion guidelines. The ideal candidate ensures every promotional dollar invested drives incremental sell-out volume, protects brand equity, and aligns seamlessly with retail enablement and integrated marketing KPIs.
