• 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

• 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
