  • Digital Engagement Ecosystem Ownership

  • Serve as strategic leader for leveraging the Adobe Experience Platform (AEP), ensuring maximum value from its capabilities (RT-CDP, journey orchestration, personalization at scale).
  • Integrate in-house intelligence engines with AEP to deliver real-time, contextual personalization across web, mobile, and app environments.
  • Partner with Business, Product, and Operations teams to ensure personalization extends into assisted channels (call center, chat, branch).
  • Leadership & Collaboration

  • Build and lead a cross-functional team of digital engagement leads, data strategists, and journey designers.
  • Partner with key vendors to drive innovation while fostering in-house capabilities.
  • Champion a test-and-learn culture, leveraging experimentation frameworks (A / B, Journey level testing, MVT).
  • Performance & Innovation

  • Drive measurable increases in customer acquisition, engagement, satisfaction, and retention through data-driven personalization.
  • Establish best-in-class governance for data use, ensuring compliance with privacy, risk, and regulatory standards.
  • Stay ahead of emerging AI, analytics, and personalization trends to future-proof the bank’s engagement strategy.
