As a Sr. Program Manager, Marketing Ops, you will play a critical role in driving high-priority marketing initiatives from planning through execution. You'll serve as a connective tissue between strategic marketing leads, product marketing, channel owners, and creative teams—owning program timelines, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring projects land on time and on brief.
What you will do:
- Program setup & execution readiness:
- Develop, implement, and maintain project management methodologies (e.g., Agile for workflows, Waterfall for large launches) and processes for marketing initiatives.
- Collaborate with the Director of Marketing Operations to scope, resource, and align programs across creative, channel, and product stakeholders and partner with US counterparts to deliver cohesive plans.
- Ensure projects follow governance frameworks with clear roles, responsibilities, decision points, and escalation paths.
- Program management & cross-functional leadership:
- Lead end-to-end planning and execution of strategic marketing programs (product launches, campaigns, brand moments), partnering with channel leads (ecomm, social, PR, retail, blog, media), creative, and product marketing.
- Translate strategy into integrated, actionable plans with owners, timelines, and milestones; facilitate alignment and regular check-ins to track progress and surface risks.
- Facilitate meetings, manage action items, remove roadblocks, and ensure projects pass through appropriate gates or are unblocked promptly.
- Strategic program support:
- Partner with strategy and brand teams early to scope timelines, define workstreams, and identify resources; help prioritize initiatives and align short-term execution with long-term brand goals.
- Mission control & reporting:
- Serve as the central point of visibility for in-flight programs, keeping leadership informed and surfacing blockers early.
- Implement and maintain project tracking systems and dashboards to provide visibility into progress, risks, and resource allocation.
- Maintain the single source-of-truth roadmap calendar for all marketing projects and present concise reports for leadership.
- Tooling & standardization:
- Manage and optimize marketing project management tools (e.g., Asana, Workfront, Jira, Smartsheet) and drive adoption.
- Develop and champion standardized templates and operating procedures (briefs, production schedules, creative request forms) to ensure consistency and efficiency.
- Continuous improvement & support:
- Identify opportunities for process improvement and efficiency within marketing, provide guidance on best practices, and foster clear communication, accountability, and collaborative problem-solving.
