What it asks for · 9

• Marketing operations or strategy, business operations experience supporting the Marketing organization, working in high-growth B2B tech companies or strong technology-driven consumer brands
• Strong project management instincts, with a track record of steering high-stakes, high-visibility projects and keeping many moving parts and busy senior leaders aligned
• A history of seeing around corners, anticipating what a fast-scaling team will need before it becomes a problem and getting ahead of it
• Proven ability to turn ambiguous, theoretical strategy into actionable plans, and to rally people across an org to execute quickly
• Deep experience building and scaling operating processes from scratch in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
• Strong analytical and financial chops, with hands-on experience in budgeting, forecasting, and annual planning
• The ability to navigate a complex organization, build influence without authority, and manage relationships with senior leaders across Marketing, Finance, and the wider company
• Comfortable operating with little direction and driving outcomes end to end, and equally comfortable dividing and conquering as part of a team rather than being the sole owner of everything you touch
• Fluency with marketing technology and project management tools

Also a plus

• 10+ years in marketing operations, strategy, business operations, or a related field
• Familiarity with marketing measurement and attribution methods
• A background spanning more than one marketing discipline, such as brand and performance, or enterprise and product
• Experience scaling operations through rapid company growth

What the job covers

• Drive annual and quarterly planning alongside the rest of the strategy and operations team, turning company and marketing strategy into clear plans with owners, timelines, and budgets
• Project-manage high-stakes, high-visibility projects from start to finish, keeping many moving parts and busy senior leaders aligned and on schedule
• Quarterback complex, cross-org special projects, pulling in the right people, setting the plan, and driving to the finish even when no single team owns the work
• Partner on budget planning, forecasting, and management across marketing teams, making sure spend maps to the highest-priority work
• Help build the operating rhythm the marketing org runs on, including how teams plan, prioritize, track progress, and report results, designed to scale as we grow
• Build analytics and reporting that show how marketing is performing and give leaders the insight to make sharper calls
• Drive cross-functional programs across Marketing, Finance, Legal, Creative Studio, and agency partners, keeping fast-moving work coordinated and unblocked
• Partner with marketing leadership and Finance on resource and headcount planning, building the trust to influence without owning the teams directly
