• Implement and own end-to-end tracking across the growth funnel, including ad attribution, UTM parameters, gclid, cookie/browser tracking, and HubSpot integration.

• Build high-leverage internal applications for Sales, Growth, and Marketing, such as signal-based notification systems, control towers, quote-to-cash automation between HubSpot and Stripe, and outbound tooling.
