• Incremental Investments & Reporting: Build investment scenarios, run ROI/impact models, track incremental spend performance, and produce regular leadership reports with recommended re-allocations.
• Marketing Strategy Support: Provide ad hoc analysis and scenario planning to support the global and regional marketing strategy — market sizing, investment tradeoffs, and cross-functional impact assessments.
  
  

Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate integrated planning activities across global and regional marketing teams; convert strategy into operational plans with owners and timelines.
• Produce robust, data-driven analyses and executive-ready presentations to support decision-making.
• Facilitate cross-functional workshops (planning, prioritization, retrospectives) and ensure decisions are documented and executed.
• Own planning governance for assigned initiatives — reporting cadence, performance tracking, and change-control.
• Challenge regional and central plans constructively: test assumptions, quantify tradeoffs, and recommend alternatives grounded in data.
• Work with Analytics and Finance to ensure proper KPI definitions, attribution models, and measurement approaches.
• Support adoption of planning tools and best practices; continuously improve process efficiency and transparency.

• Exceptional stakeholder management, facilitation and influencing skills; confident, persuasive communicator with natural charisma.
• Demonstrated ability to work across regions and levels of seniority; comfortable challenging senior stakeholders.
