They do this in partnership with others in the org, including our product vertical leads and commercial leads.

And to drive organizational buy in, you’ll need to align senior leadership and regions around your vision.
• Drive Marketing Excellence: You need to be the voice of the brand, business, and consumer in the review - the one identifying when you believe an idea will succeed, when it won’t, and where there are opportunities to improve it. But it’s not about just having opinions - you’ll need to collaborate with your partners in creative studio and brand strategy to drive this. You will need to represent marketing work to the commercial and product orgs, getting their buy in.
• Report to Evolve: We aim to measure, not just to understand, but to evolve. We’re a fast growing brand and there are many opportunities for growth. How do we use measurement to help us identify new opportunities we should take advantage of, and others we should ignore? How do we use insights to rapidly change how we go-to-market, improve creative performance, and create new consumer connections? And how do we turn this into value not just for marketing, but commercial and product teams as well?

You see yourself as a collaborative person, and understand the value of strong opinions, healthy debate, and the need to move forward as a team. You bring your experience to the conversations, as well as your passion and knowledge.
