In this role you will be the strategic thought partner and operations architect for a marketing leader and their team, accountable for how a significant portfolio within Marketing plans, operates, and evolves. This role sits inside Marketing's shift to an AI-native operating model, and we expect the person in it to build with AI as a default.
Responsibilities
Partner with a marketing leadership team to shape organizational strategy and lead annual and ad hoc planning for their portfolio

• Define and track org-level goals, and connect them to how budget and headcount are actually deployed
• Distill business insights from resource and portfolio data to support prioritization decisions
• Define, implement, and refine the rhythms of business, ways of working, and decision forums for the organization
• Facilitate the organization's core leadership forums: sharpen the agenda, land explicit owners and next steps, and close the loop on decisions
• Identify and structure emerging misalignments, then either resolve them or escalate them cleanly
• Partner with Finance, HRBP, Insights, Analytics, and Media on the inputs that inform resource allocation
• Quarterback resolution of cross-org problems where no single team owns the outcome
• Lead change management for new operating models, including the transition to AI-native ways of working
• Build reusable capability, including canonical documentation, agent-ready context, and standards encoded as tools, so that improvements compound instead of resetting with each cycle
• Communicate up, down, and across the organization to sustain transparency, alignment, and advocacy

• Experience influencing senior leaders without formal authority
