• Facilitate category management teams with inviting their sellers to coupon promotions and provide regular updates on sign up rates ahead of deadlines.

• Reduce churned sellers by monitoring for ‘leaks’ in the process and creating safeguards.

• Coordinate with supporting functions such as marketing and merchandising teams to ensure coupons are delivered on time and with impact.
