• Manage and optimise MDF including planning, allocation, utilisation, compliance, and ROI tracking.
• Submit and manage MDF proposals, approvals, Proof of Execution (POE), and invoicing in a timely and compliant manner.
• Track and report campaign performance (registrations, CPL, ROI) to stakeholders.
• Collaborate with internal teams (performance, content, social, SEO, sales) for campaign execution & POE.
• Ensure partner brand guideline compliance across all campaigns.
• Support and execute ad‑hoc partner campaigns and new initiatives beyond planned quarterly activities.
• Identify growth opportunities, new campaign ideas, and audience segments to scale training demand and partner impact.

• Strong understanding of digital marketing channels (paid ads, social media, email, webinars, landing pages).
• Experience in executing webinars, events, workshops, or demand generation programs.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with ability to work with partner SPOCs and internal teams.
• Ability to track and optimise marketing performance metrics such as registrations, CPL, ROI, and conversions.
• Strong ownership mindset with ability to drive outcomes (training numbers, campaign goals).
• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, Business Administration, or related field.

Good to Have:

• Experience working with Microsoft and/or AWS partner ecosystem.
• Prior experience in EdTech, skilling, or training business (B2C focus).
