What the job involves
- We are looking for a hyper-organized and process-driven Marketing Operations Analyst to serve as the financial backbone of our marketing department

- Budget Tracking: Maintain and update master budget trackers in real-time. You will monitor spend against allocated budgets for various teams (Events, Digital, Content) and ensure they have visibility into what is committed
- Accruals & Variance Analysis: Assist in identifying monthly accruals and flagging budget variances immediately
- Month-End Close: Partner closely with the Finance team during the month-end close process. You will act as the liaison in marketing to resolve resolve any discrepancies in the General Ledger
- Monthly forecasting: Meet with all marketing budget owners to lock in monthly forecasts and ensure Finance has the information they need to ensure an accurate lock
- Identify bottlenecks in the procurement or commission process and suggest improvements to streamline workflows
- Maintain documentation for all financial processes and operational playbooks
- You will be the guardian of our marketing efficiency. By ensuring our budget is accurate and our SDRs are paid correctly, you enable the wider team to focus on driving growth without operational friction
Our take
Ping Identity is a platform, delivered through both cloud services and on-premises software, providing a comprehensive Identity and Access Management service. In today’s highly connected digital world, digital identity management services — the process of identifying and authenticating users on networks to access services — has become a key aspect of interacting on the internet.
According to the latest forecasts, the digital identity market is worth approximately $60 billion in 2025, with annual growth rates ranging from 16 to 21%, depending on the source. Consequently, competition is heavy for PingIdentity, with some other strong players in the various branches of identity management, including Okta, LastPass, and Duo Security. The merger between PingIdentity and ForgeRock in 2023 went some way to consolidating a firm rooting in the industry for both companies.
Now combined with Forgerock, PingIdentity has successfully attracted considerable funding and serves hundreds of brands, including Morningstar, Vodafone, and GEICO, as well as the governments of Norway, Canada, and Belgium. Alongside this, both companies were acquired by the leading software investment firm, Thoma Bravo, in 2022 before the merger. This acquisition offered a unique opportunity for PingIdentity to further grow and marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the combined company and its customers.
