Job summary

Block+Tackle is seeking a seasoned Marketing Operations professional who sits at the intersection of business needs and actionable processes, with a focus on AI-enabled transformation. You will embed with Fortune 1000 marketing teams, diagnose friction points, and architect practical AI augmentations across planning, workflow, decisioning, and execution.

You’ll own process redesign, governance, and hands-on delivery inside client environments, working within Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Adobe

Qualifications

8+ years in Marketing Operations, with significant experience inside enterprise (Fortune 1000) organizations or in-house enterprise marketing teams
5+ years in a client-facing or embedded delivery role — consulting, technical implementation, applied AI/ops work, or in-house enterprise marketing — with a track record of owning outcomes, not just recommendations
Hands‑on experience leading process and marketing operations transformation — not just recommending change, but redesigning how a function actually works
Practical experience figuring out where AI fits into the marketing operations flow — you know where it changes planning, workflow, decisioning, or execution, not just where it can generate content
Comfortable tuning and optimizing an existing environment rather than replacing it — you see what's underused, misused, or quietly working around what's already there
A diagnostic mindset — you instinctively look past the tool to the process and the people around it, and you can tell a technology problem from a workflow problem from an adoption problem
Comfortable challenging entrenched process without alienating the people who built it — you evolve the system, you don't torch it
Working familiarity with common enterprise marketing platforms (Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Adobe Experience, HubSpot Enterprise, Braze, Segment/mParticle, GA4/Amplitude, and similar)
Executive presence — you can run a discovery workshop, defend a recommendation under pressure, and deliver hard news to a client with clarity and warmth
Based in the Atlanta metro area, available for hybrid collaboration and occasional client travel
Grit and love swimming in ambiguity

Responsibilities

Marketing operations diagnosis — mapping how the function actually works across planning, execution, and measurement: the workflow, the handoffs, the decision points, and the habits, so you find where the real friction lives before recommending anything
AI-augmentation, designed and built — identifying where AI can meaningfully improve a marketing operations process, then building it into place yourself — workflow, decisioning, prioritization, and output, not just where to bolt on generative content
Marketing operations transformation — redesigning process, roles, and workflow so they work the way the business actually needs them to, tuning and evolving what's already there rather than replacing it
Embedded delivery — you're the one inside the client's environment day to day, in their tools and their team meetings, iterating in tight loops based on what's actually happening rather than working from a discovery-phase report
Advisory to marketing and IT leadership — guiding stakeholders on AI readiness, governance, and responsible adoption inside marketing operations
The translation layer — turning ambiguous business problems into clear process and operational recommendations, and turning AI possibility into plain-language guidance marketing and IT can both act on
The practice itself — building reusable frameworks and documentation that make every MarOps + AI engagement sharper than the last
The edge — staying genuinely ahead of how AI is actually changing marketing operations, and pressure-testing what's real versus hype before it reaches a client
Agility — harnessing the ability to hop in at the most mundane and the most strategic. You are not above any job needed to achieve the mission objective.
