Marketing Strategy & Operations Lead IV

Job Description

Marketing Strategy & Operations Lead IV
Onsite

Summary:

We're looking for a strategically-minded and operationally excellent Marketing Strategy & Operations Lead to join our team. This role is at the heart of how our global marketing organization operates - from shaping planning cycles and owning key workstreams, to enabling cross-functional alignment and budget accountability. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in SaaS enterprise businesses, preferably within Big Tech environments, and knows how to navigate the nuances of complex, global marketing teams.

Responsibilities:

• Lead Strategic Planning: Drive the annual and quarterly planning process for marketing, collaborating with cross-functional teams to align on goals, resourcing, and execution plans.
• Own Cross-Functional Workstreams: Operate at the intersection of brand, demand gen, product marketing, comms, and more - connecting dots, managing dependencies, and ensuring the org is executing against shared priorities.
• Communicate with Clarity: Craft crisp, high-quality communications - from executive updates to team-wide memos. You're equally comfortable drafting a strategic brief or presenting to a VP.
• Manage Projects End-to-End: Take initiatives from zero to one, often in ambiguous environments. You ask the right questions, develop structure where there is none, and execute with discipline.
• Support Budget & Investment Decisions: Work closely with marketing leaders and finance to track budgets, monitor spend, and make investment decisions that align with evolving business needs.
• Run Global Operations: Coordinate across regional teams, lead global standups, and ensure alignment across markets - keeping cultural nuances and time zones in mind.
• Balance Today & Tomorrow: Make sense of existing business needs while building frameworks to support future growth and marketing evolution.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 8+ years of experience in marketing, operations, or strategy roles. Prior experience in SaaS enterprise businesses; background in Big Tech a strong plus
• Deep understanding of how marketing functions operate and interconnect in a global org
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - you write with clarity and purpose. Strong executive presence and stakeholder management skills (Director, VP+)
• Proven track record of launching and managing complex cross-functional projects. Comfort operating independently in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
• Project management excellence and strong organizational instincts
• Familiarity with marketing budgets and business planning processes

Why This Role Matters

• This is a highly visible and foundational role that sits at the core of how our marketing org runs. If you thrive on building structure, driving clarity, and connecting strategy to execution - especially within high-growth enterprise SaaS - we'd love to meet you.

Pay range is $90 - $95 per hour with full benefits available, including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/life insurance, 401K, parental leave, and more. Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets. Pay is based on several factors including market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
