The Senior Manager, Planning & Governance is responsible for creating the planning infrastructure, governance processes, and operating rhythms that align teams, accelerate decision-making, and enable seamless execution across the enterprise.

• Lead enterprise planning and prioritisation processes, including PCW and new initiative intake, proactively identifying and resolving scheduling conflicts, resource constraints, message overlap, and execution risks before they impact delivery
• Establish and lead management routines, governance processes, and decision‑making frameworks that drive alignment, accelerate decision‑making, and provide clear escalation paths across stakeholders and leadership teams
• Own executive communications, reporting, and planning infrastructure, delivering clear, actionable insights and decision‑ready materials that provide visibility into priorities, performance, dependencies, and work in progress
• Drive operational excellence by improving cross‑functional ways of working, reducing duplication, streamlining reporting, coordinating strategic planning activities, and creating a consistent view of Front Store marketing performance

• Strong executive communication, analytical, and organisational skills, with experience developing reporting frameworks, dashboards, presentations, and decision‑ready recommendations for senior leaders
• Proven ability to influence across highly matrixed organisations, navigate competing priorities, identify dependencies and risks, and drive alignment and execution without direct authority
• Ability to commit to a hybrid work model, including routine in‑office attendance in Woonsocket, RI or New York City

• Familiarity with integrated marketing planning across multiple channels and customer touchpoints
