• Perform final creative quality assurance prior to execution, with strong attention to detail across messaging, content, formatting, brand alignment, and required approvals.

Stakeholder Management & Influence

• Build strong relationships across a highly matrixed organization and effectively navigate multiple layers of review and approval.
• Coordinate stakeholders across marketing, product, creative, analytics, execution, compliance, and other business functions to maintain alignment throughout the campaign lifecycle.
• Proactively identify roadblocks, competing priorities, and potential delays and develop solutions to keep workstreams on track.
• Facilitate productive conversations when stakeholder feedback is conflicting, unclear, or potentially impacts campaign objectives or timelines.
• Bring confidence and sound judgment to stakeholder discussions, including the ability to constructively challenge feedback when appropriate.
• Maintain clear communication around project status, decisions, action items, risks, dependencies, and next steps.

Marketing Planning & Execution

• Support the planning and execution of customer engagement marketing programs and campaigns across multiple channels and touchpoints.
• Collaborate with marketing and customer journey teams to translate business objectives and customer needs into actionable campaign plans.
