You'll be responsible for driving marketing operations rigor across a defined portfolio of APAC markets or programs, coordinating closely with in-market teams, APAC Marketing Operations leadership, and Global Marketing Operations.

Crucial to your success is having a strong foundation in SaaS and enterprise technology, multi-faceted experience in integrated marketing strategy and program development, relationship management skills, cross-functional coordination, adaptability, and expertise in enterprise technology marketing in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

• Deliver data and actionable insights that inform Quarterly Business Reviews and Pipeline reviews focused on improved performance.
• Liaise regularly with the APAC Field Marketing, Global MOps, Global Programs, Strategy & Ops, and Sales teams to ensure business context, understanding of results, and access to program analysis.
• Build positive working relationships across Major Areas and Global teams, effectively build consensus, and resolve issues within the project team. Work with our internal marketing systems to ensure maximum efficiency, data quality, buying group coverage & accuracy.
• Be a test bed for innovation. Building & testing new processes, automation & AI that can help scale marketing operations and drive systematic growth.
• Mentor and provide informal guidance to junior marketing operations team members across the portfolio, sharing lessons learned from successes and failures. Ensure self and others demonstrate strong ethics and cross-cultural sensitivity when balancing the needs of diverse in-market stakeholders.
• Create templates and playbooks that can scale from a single-market to multi-market context.

To be successful in this role, we need someone who has:

• Bachelor's degree (Marketing or Commerce, MBA well regarded) and 12+ years of overall experience, or an advanced degree with a marketing emphasis and equivalent experience, with a significant portion in high-tech/B2B marketing operations.
• Demonstrable success operating across multiple markets or regions in dynamic, complex environments, with a proven ability to create consensus and influence without direct authority.
• Ability to work independently, think, plan, and problem-solve strategically in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with a firm focus on execution within deadlines.
