The Head of ECM Strategy is responsible for developing the next generation of ECM Marketing strategy for Citi, taking into account competitive views, deep analysis of performance and results across all channels and the needs of each business.  In addition, this role will lead and champion critical initiatives and detailed annual plans that deliver on that strategy and that are designed to transform ECM Marketing.

• Design end to end Monitoring roadmap that will track ECM performance (e.g campaign performance, metrics), customer franchise health (e.g. benefit usage, digital engagement), and the Transformation (e.g. metrics to measure personalization, efficiency and speed).  This will include monitoring and tracking performance of ECM Marketing against commitments to each business (e.g. KPI’s, key metrics) as well as our Transformation and provide clear reasons for results, as well as plans and roadmaps to mitigate any under-delivery.  Develop means to drive to daily engagement on performance and plans to quickly adjust. 

• Develop and implement roadmap for Technology builds and Marketing Operations processes to deliver the Transformation – this could include scaling real time triggers, streamlining Digital processes, revamping capacity planning etc – with an output of an annual and multi-year agreed operational plan that reflects specific business unit commitments and the overall Transformation.
