Setting the global Brand Operations strategy and operating model — establishing and evolving the long-term vision and roadmap in line with the Long-Term Strategic Plan; defining the operational standards, frameworks, and ways of working that regional leaders adopt globally to ensure GTM, creative, project, and campaign work is planned and executed consistently while enabling locally relevant delivery

Driving global-to-regional alignment and governance — developing and implementing consistent Brand Operations standards across channels and markets worldwide. Establishing processes which support and enable global brand cohesion with local relevance, including global, regional and local marketing ways of working. Also responsible to maintain an enterprise-wide view of operational risk and dependencies; and establishing a clear process for managing urgent or reactive requests without derailing planned workflows
Building organizational capability and driving continuous improvement — overseeing and developing a high-performing global team; leading change management and process redesign to increase agility and reduce cost; presenting business reviews and recommendations to senior leadership; and using an operations scorecard (throughput, cost-per-asset, campaign velocity, budget variance) and analytics to improve resource allocation and decision-making, incorporating responsible production practices where relevant

Evaluating and integrating emerging technologies — including AI-powered production tools, workflow automation, and campaign management platforms
