Join the Marketing team!

As Executive Director, Channel Execution Transformation and Martech Operations, you will support a role that is intentionally anchored in operations while advancing technology-focused transformation. Approximately half of the role is focused on Channel Execution and Operations, including process discipline, service delivery, controls, quality, capacity support, issue management, and operational efficiency. The role also supports the transition from current-state marketing operations to a more AI-enabled and agentic marketing operating model, helping teams understand where AI agents, automation, decision support, and human-in-the-loop controls can improve marketing execution. It is ideal for a strong operator who is well versed in AI concepts, understands how AI can impact marketing and operations, and can help lead organization change from the front while operationalizing Martech capabilities in a practical, controlled, and scalable way.

Marketing transformation requires strong execution discipline, practical technology adoption, clear change management, and a forward-looking view of AI. This role is grounded in Channel Execution and Operations, with approximately 50% of the focus on operational routines, execution quality, controls, process discipline, and efficiency, while also helping teams move toward AI-enabled and agentic marketing operations.
