Team Management and Execution Standards

• Lead, direct, and mentor a dedicated team of campaign operations managers, establishing daily execution priorities, workload balancing, and clear project ownership.
• Enforce strict SLAs, quality benchmarks, and turnaround times across internal production teams and external agency partners.
• Maintain a zero-defect execution bar, ensuring every link, asset, tag, and landing page is stress-tested and fully validated before hand over to the activation teams.

Cross-Functional Orchestration and Performance Visibility

• Serve as the primary operational link connecting Campaign Strategy, Product Marketing, Brand, and Media teams.
• Synthesize production metrics, SLA compliance, and budget tracking into clear operational dashboards and management updates.
• Identify potential production bottlenecks or dependency shifts early, adjusting workflows dynamically to keep high-priority launches on schedule.
