• Develop and manage core operational infrastructure (e.g., content management, resource allocation, internal service models) that enables marketing teams to operate at scale.
• Build repeatable models and toolkits to support global teams in executing campaigns more efficiently and consistently.

Leadership & Governance

• Lead a high-performing team of project managers responsible for cross-functional campaign delivery and strategic initiatives.
• Drive the Talent, Culture, and Ethics agenda across marketing, with a focus on growing high-performing, inclusive teams built for agility and scale - fostering a diverse, inclusive, and values-led culture.
• Ensure robust governance and strong relationships with Internal Audit, Risk, Compliance, and Legal partners.
• Establish and monitor clear standards and accountability mechanisms for marketing operations and execution.

Technology, Innovation & Enablement

• Partner with Technology, Data, and Digital teams to coordinate AI and MarTech integration that enhances productivity and speed of execution.
• Act as a central point of oversight and strategy for all marketing tech investments, ensuring alignment, ROI, and reduced duplication.
• Champion the use of automation, workflows, and smart systems to simplify how work gets done and enable marketers to focus on high-impact activities.
• Bring a test-and-learn mindset to operational innovation, piloting tools and approaches that accelerate delivery.

Financial & Resource Management:

• Lead end-to-end budget planning, tracking, and reporting, ensuring transparency, accountability, and alignment with strategic priorities.
• Collaborate with global partners to ensure optimal resource allocation and scalability across teams and regions.
• Identify cost efficiencies and productivity levers through better planning, tooling, and vendor management.

Qualifications & Experience

• Proven leadership experience managing high-performing teams and senior stakeholders in a matrixed environment.
• Demonstrated success driving operational transformation and marketing acceleration through process redesign, tooling, and team enablement.
• Deep understanding of marketing governance, compliance (including ADA), and operational best practices.
• Strong analytical mindset and comfort with performance metrics, budget management, and strategic reporting.
• Experience with modern MarTech stacks, AI tools, workflow platforms, and collaborating with technology partners to unlock new capabilities.
• Track record of championing talent development, inclusion, and a performance-driven culture across global teams.
