- Identify and drive process improvements to improve marketing velocity, data quality, and handoff efficiency
- Oversee program management for cross-functional initiatives and major launches
- Partner with the Marketing Ops and BI teams to establish a single source of truth for marketing performance
- Build visibility into what’s working — pipeline, conversion, velocity, retention — and drive action on insights
- Support the CMO with board and executive-level reporting
- Act as the marketing liaison to Sales, Product, RevOps, and Finance — ensuring shared metrics, data integrity, and GTM alignment
