The role

What you will own

Global campaign rollout

• Own the operational plan for global brand campaigns and tentpole moments, from brief through regional launch.
• Build launch calendars, milestones, and readiness reviews across global, Americas, and EMEA teams.
• Coordinate with agency partners, regional leads, and cross-functional teams to keep timelines and deliverables aligned.

Global-to-regional playbooks

• Design and maintain playbooks that define how global campaigns are handed off, adapted, and localized by region.
• Set clear standards for what stays global, what regions adapt, and who approves each stage.
• Partner with regional leads to manage localization workflows, translation, and market-specific adaptation.

Creative process and resourcing

• Build the creative intake, ticketing, and prioritization system for brand, content, and shoot requests.
• Map creative capacity across in-house teams, agencies, and freelancers, and flag resourcing gaps early.
• Run production planning for content and shoots, including scheduling, budgets, and asset delivery.

Marketing and project planning

• Lead the annual and quarterly marketing planning cycle, including roadmap development and OKR tracking.

• Maintain a single source of truth for the marketing roadmap across global and regional teams.

Team operations

• Support team planning, including headcount mapping, onboarding, and operating rhythms.
• Run recurring team rituals such as weekly syncs, planning reviews, and post-launch retrospectives.
• Roll out new processes and tools, and drive adoption across the team.

What success looks like in the first year

• Every global campaign ships with a documented plan, regional handoff, and localization path.
• Creative requests flow through one intake system with clear priorities and turnaround times.
