About Goldman Sachs Marketing:

Led by the firms first Chief Marketing Officer, the marketing function at Goldman Sachs is backed by momentum and a broad imperative to unify the discipline, helping to codify a business-critical function seen as core to the firms future growth. As such, GS is focused on building out a data-and-technology enabled team of growth marketers, delivering value for the brand and the business. The organization will consist of a number of key, senior-level COE roles in areas such as Brand, Media, and Marketing Strategy, as well as senior marketing leads for each of our revenue divisions. Together, this team will collaborate to build a unified, scalable, and consistent approach to marketing the brand and its offerings. Our mission is to be a demonstrable force multiplier for the businesses we serve.

The COO group within the marketing function is responsible for marketing strategy, transformation, and operations, setting direction for the function, partnering with the CMO on their top-priority initiatives, driving collaboration across the COE and revenue division marketing teams, and ensuring executional excellence. The team develops the strategic vision for the function, sets objectives and establishes tenets, articulates and communicates the mission and vision, and acts as the conduit to other leadership teams around the firm. As well, the operations part of the group implements processes and governance, runs the project management office (PMO) team dedicated to supporting marketing efforts, and manages internal and external communications around marketing efforts. As GS continues to invest and grow its marketing team, it is critical that we develop a firmwide approach and process for areas such as budgeting, campaign development, agency briefing and management, tracking and measurement, and knowledge sharing.
