You’ll connect the customer strategy with data, decisioning, MarTech and digital capabilities to help move Optus from campaign-led engagement towards real-time, personalised customer experiences.
You will own the capability roadmap, backlog and requirements for personalisation, translating business and customer priorities into clear, actionable and delivery-ready outcomes. Working across customer data, decisioning and marketing automation streams, you'll play a critical role in connecting strategy with execution and enabling personalisation at scale.

Partner with CVM, digital, data and technology teams to translate customer and business use cases into scalable personalisation solutions.

Monitor platform capabilities, emerging technology and vendor roadmaps to identify opportunities to improve customer outcomes, simplify execution and evolve the capability.
Own and actively manage the capability backlog, translating business needs into clear, prioritised and deliver-ready requirements using Jira and agreed prioritisation frameworks.
Act as the key stakeholder contact, supporting adoption, governance and successful delivery of personalisation initiatives.
What makes you right for the role?
