Serve as the primary point of contact between internal TurboTax stakeholders and our agency partner, ensuring the PPC program is always aligned to business goals and priorities.
Interpret business objectives, growth targets, and marketing strategies from internal stakeholders and translate them into clear, actionable direction for the agency.
