Our Team

The Campaign & Product Support Specialist provides day-to-day operational support for Catalina UK’s existing clients, campaigns, campaign solutions and supporting platforms. Acting as the central point of contact for operational and platform-related queries from internal teams, the Campaign & Product Support Specialist prioritises and triages incoming issues, investigates their underlying causes, and resolves campaign or process-related problems within their area of responsibility.

Working closely with Campaign Delivery, Commercial, Media Services, Technology and other operational teams, the role supports reliable business-as-usual delivery and minimises disruption to campaigns and live client activity. It also identifies recurring issues and contributes to the continuous improvement of Product Support processes, documentation, tools and overall service efficiency.
