Reporting to the Global Head of Client & Marketing Strategy, you drive business growth by translating strategic priorities into integrated business and product marketing programs.

Own the Canadian campaign calendar and creative briefs. Collaborate with Digital Marketing on paid, owned, and earned-media distribution.

Global Program Leadership

Lead strategic planning, budget development, execution, and reporting for marquee global marketing programs where Canada plays a key role, ensuring alignment with enterprise priorities.
