    Identify and execute external brand marketing partnerships that strengthen brand position with existing customers and introduce GCC to new audiences.

    Brand Insights & Analytics:


    Analyze brand performance against core KPIs and present insights and strategic recommendations to cross-functional stakeholders.

    Monitor the competitive landscape and identify opportunities to strengthen GCC's brand position.

    Partner with internal analytics and call center teams to assess shifts in customer sentiment and preferences, adjusting brand strategies accordingly.
