  • Build and maintain operational dashboards and reporting to track content pipeline health, budget utilization, and project status for leadership visibility.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with CMO, MLR, S&C, and digital partners to identify dependencies, resolve bottlenecks, and proactively address operational challenges with scalable solutions.
  • Develop and evolve operational playbooks, governance frameworks, and ways of working as the team grows toward launch.
  • Ensure seamless integration across paid, owned, and earned execution by partnering with media, digital, and performance teams on workflow and timing.
  • Stay current on industry trends, emerging technologies, and content supply chain innovations to continuously improve team operations.


BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
  • BA/BS with 8+ years or MBA/MS with 7+ years of experience in marketing operations, content operations, brand marketing, or related field; pharmaceutical or healthcare experience required.

  • Proven track record managing agency relationships, scopes, and budgets within a large, complex organization.
  • Strong executive presence with exceptional verbal and written communication skills; able to influence senior leaders and cross-functional partners.

  • Deep familiarity with core marketing deliverables, including consumer research, message maps, promotional assets, etc.
  • Embodies core values of Excellence, Equity, Courage, and Joy, while contributing to a positive and collaborative team culture.
