📋 Description

• Lead high priority strategic initiatives end to end from scoping and business casing through execution, working closely with marketing, product, data, finance, and regional teams. • Act as a trusted right hand to the marketing leadership, translating strategic priorities into structured plans, workstreams, and measurable outcomes. • Own cross functional programme management for major marketing initiatives (e.g. brand launches, agency transitions, martech implementations, org changes), ensuring clear ownership, timelines, and accountability. • Identify and resolve operational bottlenecks within marketing, improving how the function plans, prioritises, and executes work. • Prepare senior level materials board updates, strategy documents, business reviews synthesising complex information into clear recommendations. • Drive process and efficiency improvements, including budget management, planning cycles, and marketing operating rhythms. • Parachute into ambiguous or urgent problems across the marketing function, quickly building context and driving them toward resolution. • Build strong relationships across the business, acting as a connective layer between marketing and other functions such as Product, Data, Finance, Legal, and Compliance.
