- Develop and manage marketing metrics, ROI measurement, and performance reporting to guide continuous improvement.
- Anticipate long-term trends and opportunities, ensuring marketing strategy aligns with enterprise priorities and future growth.

- Lead marketing operations in a lean environment, balancing strategic direction with hands-on execution when needed.
- Manage marketing budgets, agency relationships, and external partners with strong financial and operational discipline.
- Ensure marketing programs are scalable, efficient, and aligned with organizational growth.

- Proven success building, leading, and developing teams through growth, change, and evolving organizational needs.

- Track record of connecting marketing initiatives to broader organizational or business outcomes.
- Experience developing and maturing marketing functions in lean or high growth environments.
- Strong long-term, strategic thinker with comfort using data and analytics to guide decisions.
