About this role

As the Marketing Strategy and Operations Senior Manager, you will be the strategic right-hand implementer to the VP of Marketing. You will design and operate the marketing operating system that unlocks coordination and scale across the marketing ecosystem (content, media, social, paid, ambassadors, web, campaigns, automation).

In this role you will not just create plans and processes but you will also own specific key initiatives providing hands-on support building, testing, and scaling new bets. You will draw on a deep understanding of B2B and B2C marketing tactics and channels.

Marketing special projects and strategic initiatives (40%)

  • Lead complex cross-functional marketing projects from problem definition through design, launch, test, iteration, and scale while measuring qual and quant impact

  • Document what works, build playbooks, and hand off to a permanent owner or team

Marketing operations (40%)

  • Own annual and quarterly planning and OKR discipline, translating strategic intent into priorities, milestones, and measurable outcomes
  • Analyze marketing performance, trends, and customer insights to identify growth levers
  • Lead the org through operating change, including the transition to AI-enabled ways of working
  • Own marketing budget and headcount planning with Finance, building integrated resource plans and tradeoff recommendation
  • Partner with People Team on headcount planning and scaling hiring plans
  • Manage key marketing vendor evaluations, procurement, and onboarding of new tools

Marketing Chief of Staff (20%)

  • Manage the leadership operating rhythm: staff meetings, business reviews, offsites, extended leadership meetings, all-hands, off-site retreats
  • Act as a strategic thought partner and advisor to marketing leadership on key decisions, priorities, and emerging opportunities; provide high candor feedback to executive leadership
  • Support leadership in navigating ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, team management, and driving execution

What you’ll bring

  • 5–7 years in strategy, chief of staff, management consulting, indie hacker, agency, or marketing/growth or GTM operations
  • Experience with a wide range of tactics and channels: lifecycle marketing, SEO, SMS and push, paid channels, social, content, and creator, earned media, thought leadership, events, B2B and/or B2C, SaaS marketing, digital marketing, segmentation
  • A first-principles thinker who can break a complex process into parts, decide what to change, automate with AI, or keep human, and connect the dots across functions
  • Proven record leading complex cross-functional initiatives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with strong program management skills
  • Experience working with large marketing budgets: including forecasts, budgeting, headcount planning, investment tradeoffs
  • Experience with hiring, recruiting, and onboarding operations
  • Excellent presentation skills; experience building exec-level decks
