  • QA, Risk Identification & Launch Readiness
  • Perform detailed QA on emails, landing pages, ads, and other marketing assets.

  • Validate links, copy accuracy, formatting, approvals, and handoffs.

  • Identify missing inputs, unclear messaging, asset gaps, or execution risks early.

  • Act as an early warning system for launch risk by maintaining close proximity to creative and channel-level details.

  • Confirm all requirements, approvals, and dependencies are fully met prior to launch.

  • Maintain clean, accurate, and current project documentation.

  • Operational Process Ownership & Improvement

  • Identify inefficient, unclear, or broken processes that create bottlenecks or rework.

  • Propose and implement execution-focused improvements to increase speed, clarity, and predictability.

  • Test, document, and roll out updated workflows in partnership with Marketing leadership.

  • Simplify or retire processes that no longer serve the team’s needs.

  • Role Focus & Partnership

    To ensure clarity of scope and strong collaboration, this role focuses on execution excellence and partners closely with Marketing Leadership and the PMO, who lead:

  • Final strategy and campaign planning decisions

  • Priority setting and tradeoff decisions

  • Arbitration when stakeholder priorities conflict

  • Cross-functional sequencing across teams at a portfolio level

  • Program and portfolio ownership

  • Marketing Leadership and the PMO provide the strategic direction and prioritization framework. This role strengthens execution discipline within that framework  ensuring initiatives are delivered with clarity, alignment, and operational rigor.

  • What You’ll Bring
