Project Management: Demonstrated ability to manage multi-million RMB budgets and high-frequency event calendars with meticulous attention to detail and operational discipline.
Technical Literacy: Proficiency in marketing automation tools, CRM systems (Salesforce preferred), and data analytics platforms (GA4, BI tools).
