· Marketing, CRM and personalization teams: audience, activation, measurement, experimentation and governed use.

· Digital Product, Member Care and Club Operations: member journeys, friction points, service workflows and adoption.

· Data engineering, analytics, data science, architecture, security, privacy and governance: identity, data models, controls, quality and responsible use.
