• Build repeatable playbooks, documentation standards, and execution frameworks that create consistency across how work is requested, assessed, planned, delivered, and measured.

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing Operations, Web Experience, Paid Media, CRM, Analytics, and business stakeholders to coordinate complex cross-functional initiatives from concept through implementation.

• Identify and manage risks, blockers, dependencies, and timeline tradeoffs, and ensure leaders have the right visibility to make informed decisions.

• Create clear accountability models and mechanisms that help teams adhere to process while still moving with speed and flexibility.

• Develop reporting frameworks and dashboards that provide visibility into throughput, capacity, roadmap health, delivery performance, and business impact.

• Lead operational reviews and executive communications that support prioritization, portfolio decisions, and continuous improvement.

• Identify process inefficiencies and drive operational improvements that increase delivery quality, execution speed, and organizational effectiveness.

• Build a strong understanding of the broader marketing and digital technology ecosystem, including CRM, marketing automation, web platforms, data platforms, analytics, paid media technologies, and AI-enabled workflows, to support modernization and integration efforts.
