  • Build strong partnerships with internal stakeholders to align priorities and resources
  • Support annual marketing planning and budgeting activities
Lead and support a growing team

  • Comfort using performance metrics and campaign data to evaluate success and guide decision-making
  • Previous people leadership experience, whether through direct management, mentorship, or project leadership
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset and willingness to roll up your sleeves when needed
Nice to have:
