Design and implement systematic project delivery frameworks that ensure cross-functional initiatives actually get completed. Build comprehensive operational cadences - from weekly marketing leadership meetings and monthly all-hands to quarterly business reviews and project status reporting - that drive accountability, visibility, and team alignment. Create and manage marketing operations playbooks that scale successful processes across all teams. Lead a comprehensive AI audit across all marketing functions to identify immediate productivity gains and build implementation roadmaps. Drive tool evaluation, procurement, and rollout across marketing to maximize operational efficiency. Identify workflow bottlenecks and design systematic solutions that scale across demand generation, customer marketing, sales enablement, and marketing operations.
