The Position

Role Summary

The Digital Marketing Operations Manager is responsible for delivering global digital marketing execution services through a centralized hub-based operating model in support of affiliate and business needs. This role executes a broad range of activities across global campaign management, content creation, email, SEO support, sales enablement support, marketing automation, paid media support, reporting, and social media management using approved strategies, templates, standards, and processes defined by Global Digital Marketing and relevant functional teams.

Working closely with affiliates, hub colleagues, and digital marketing teams, the Digital Marketing Operations Manager manages assigned requests with a greater degree of independence, judgment, and accountability. Requests are typically managed through a service management model, while also supporting direct engagement with requestors where required. The role is responsible for delivering high-quality, timely, and consistent execution, resolving routine-to-moderately complex operational issues, and contributing to process improvement and service effectiveness across the centralized delivery model.

The Digital Marketing Operations Manager plays a key role in enabling scale, consistency, and operational excellence across the digital marketing ecosystem by executing more complex work, maintaining service discipline, and supporting reliable delivery across channels, platforms, and markets. 

Key Responsibilities

• Execute global and local digital marketing activities and campaign-related services through a centralized operations model, executed by the Global Digital Hub (RSS) in support of affiliate and business requests.
• Deliver work using approved campaign strategies, templates, content frameworks, workflows, quality standards, and governance requirements developed by Global Digital Marketing and relevant functional teams.
• Manage assigned service requests received through the service management tool and, where needed, through direct stakeholder engagement, ensuring work is accurately tracked, progressed, and completed within agreed expectations.
• Execute and coordinate digital campaign activities, including campaign setup, campaign updates, production tasks, workflow management, and delivery support across in-scope services.
• Create, adapt, assemble, format, and maintain written and visual content assets using approved templates, standards, and business requirements.

• Perform website and SEO support activities, including content updates, metadata handling, tagging, content structure support, and related optimization-aligned execution tasks.
• Support sales enablement, marketing automation, social media management, paid media support, and reporting activities in accordance with documented requirements and operating procedures.
• Support marketing automation execution, including campaign workflows, segmentation or list support, form or landing page support, journey execution, and related activities as applicable.
• Prepare, update, and maintain recurring reports, reporting inputs, performance summaries, and operational documentation as required.
• Perform quality assurance and validation checks to ensure deliverables are accurate, complete, compliant, and aligned with instructions and standards before release or handoff.
• Communicate directly with affiliates and stakeholders to clarify requests, confirm requirements, provide status updates, and support effective service delivery.
• Troubleshoot routine operational issues, identify root causes of recurring execution problems, and escalate more complex matters appropriately.
• Monitor service queues, workloads, priorities, and request status to help ensure timely and consistent delivery across the hub model.
• Follow and help reinforce standard operating procedures, work instructions, governance requirements, and service processes to ensure consistency and compliance.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying recurring issues, inefficiencies, training gaps, or opportunities to improve service quality, execution consistency, and operational effectiveness.
• Support onboarding, knowledge sharing, and day-to-day guidance for less experienced team members where needed.
• Work effectively across a distributed hub structure, collaborating with team members in multiple locations to ensure aligned and reliable service delivery.
