Responsibilities:

  • Serve as a core member of the Marketing Leadership team , helping set the strategic agenda, shaping priorities, and bringing structured thinking and a steady hand to the organisation's biggest decisions and most ambiguous problems.
  • Translate the CMO's vision into a clear, coherent strategy for the marketing organisation, framing the hardest problems, developing options and recommendations, and helping leadership decide where to focus and where to place its biggest bets.
  • Design and run the operating system for the marketing organisation ensuring decisions happen on schedule and alignment is built in, not chased.
