We’re looking for a strategic, cross-functional leader to join our marketing organization to drive cross strategy through multiple initiatives across Credit Karma and TurboTax. As the leader of Marketing Strategy & Operations, you’ll partner closely with senior leaders across Marketing, Product, Corporate Strategy, and Analytics to align end-to-end go-to-market plans, lead resourcing and investment strategy, establish performance reporting frameworks, and own executive opmechs. 

This role is ideal for someone with a background in management consulting, in-house marketing strategy, and a track record of enabling  high-growth product launches.

  • Partner with cross-functional teams to build and maintain integrated GTM strategies across high-priority company bets that deliver cohesive member journeys and drive ecosystem growth across TurboTax and Credit Karma
  • Identify and resolve GTM conflicts across messaging, timing, or resource allocation
  • Represent Marketing in cross-functional strategic planning forums, including direct contribution to strategy papers and executive business reviews
  • Develop and maintain a cohesive narrative across all GTM efforts, connecting fragmented workstreams into a single, executive-ready story
  • Reduce executive burden by owning high-quality inputs for monthly and quarterly business reviews
  • Define and operationalize a marketing performance framework across strategic and core initiatives in partnership with Finance and Analytics
  • Lead operating mechanics (e.g. reviews, forums, milestone updates) that keep work aligned and on track across GTM teams
  • Partner with the Program Management and Operations leader to align execution within strategic programs

What we are looking for:

  • 10 years of experience in marketing strategy, business operations, or management consulting
  • Proven ability to operate at both the strategic and executional level
  • Executive presence and strong storytelling ability across written and verbal formats
  • Deep familiarity with go-to-market planning, product launch cycles, and performance reporting
  • Track record of influencing cross-functional teams and driving alignment across complex, ambiguous environments
  • Experience working directly with senior executives (CMO, GM, Head of Product, etc.)

What we would like to see:

  • Experience in high-growth consumer tech or agency-side marketing strategy
  • MBA
