Sitting within the Integrated Marketing organization, you’ll be the connective tissue across Sales, Product Marketing, Integrated Marketing, and Customer Experience, with support from our GTM Analytics organization — ensuring every demand generation initiative not only drives short‑term performance, but also builds enduring brand equity. You will inspire and align a global network of media professionals and agency partners, setting a standard for excellence in both strategy and execution.

This is a rare opportunity for a seasoned, globally minded marketing leader to define how a category‑leading brand shows up across brand media, retail media, performance marketing, PR, social, influencers, and all future‑forward demand channels.

• Lead and inspire a global community of regional media professionals, ensuring they are 100% focused on driving local growth.
• Oversee all major global agency partnerships, ensuring accountability, innovation, and operational efficiency.
• Direct investments across brand media, retail media, PR, social, influencer, and emerging channels, ensuring measurable ROI.
• Establish standards, playbooks, and benchmarks to elevate performance across regions.

Cross‑Functional Impact

• Work in close partnership with Sales, Product Marketing, the broader Integrated Marketing, and Customer Experience organizations to ensure media strategies align with customer insights and commercial priorities.
• Collaborate with Analytics & Insights teams to set a data‑driven foundation for investment decisions, campaign optimization, and business impact measurement.
• Anticipate and act on consumer, technology, and industry trends, ensuring the brand remains ahead of the curve.

Leadership & Influence

• Inspire, mentor, and elevate regional teams, fostering a culture of bold creativity, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Act as a global thought leader—both internally and externally—on demand generation, media innovation, and consumer engagement.
• Champion integration across brand, retail, performance, and reputation marketing, ensuring cohesive storytelling and maximum commercial impact.
