This role isn't about campaign execution - it's about acting as Marketing's connective tissue, aligning planning and measurement standards into one shared framework so Marketing can optimize for impact.

The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver and strategic thinker with deep experience in marketing strategy, program management, and cross-functional collaboration.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and develop a team that supports Brand, Live, Sports, Franchise, and Content marketing, aligning processes so campaigns consistently flow through our standard planning frameworks with strategic rigor.

• Partner across the enterprise to advance key tools (e.g., MMM, Airtable, Claude) that support Marketing's planning and investment decisions.

• Develop workflows with automation in mind, leaning into AI to streamline and quicken results.

• Align campaign briefing processes to increase operational efficiency and cross-functional collaboration.

• Strengthen analyses by rolling out cross-platform measurement and unifying KPIs across teams.

• Collaborate regularly with campaign managers and channel owners to surface tactical performance insights, identify optimization opportunities, and inform strategic pivots.

• Drive the narrative of Marketing's holistic impact — socializing learnings with partners through goals updates and quarterly business reviews.

• Serve as a strategic thought partner to Marketing leadership, ensuring campaigns are aligned with our business goals and that insights translate into sharper prioritization decisions across the org.

Basic Qualifications:

• 7+ years of experience in marketing strategy, media strategy, operations, consulting, or a related field.

• Proven success leading cross-functional projects and strategic planning processes.

• Strong analytical and storytelling skills; ability to translate data into clear, actionable insights.

• Expertise in database tools like Airtable.

• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.

• Comfortable managing through ambiguity and influencing without authority.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience in streaming or entertainment, particularly within a complex, matrixed organization.

• Proven background in building and scaling marketing operations or strategy functions.

• Experience with executive reporting and crafting strategic narratives for leadership.

• Strong understanding of cross-functional workflows between creative, media, strategy, and data science teams.

• Comfort navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities to support evolving business needs and objectives.
