YOU

You are a systemsoriented thinker who thrives at the intersection of strategy, execution, and enablement. You see automation, AI, and modern marketing platforms not as isolated tools, but asconnected systems that should work together to drive outcomes with less friction and manual effort.

In this role, you will reshape how Digital Marketing and eCommerce execution happens, redesigning workflows, integrating platforms, and embedding logic directly into systems so work scales beyond individual effort. You'll focus on moving the organization away from coordinationheavy processes and towardsystemdriven, outcomeoriented execution models, including autonomous and humanintheloop designs.

You will also provide connective ownership across core marketing platforms and integrations - the foundational layer between transformation initiatives that keeps everything running reliably while enabling what comes next. By partnering closely with analytics, data, IT, and platform experts, you'll help ensure the infrastructure, governance, and execution foundations are strong enough to support automation, AIenabled workflows, and longterm scalability.

This is a role for someone who enjoysbuilding the engine while improving it, balancing vision with pragmatism, and creating systems that allow teams to move faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Collaborate with stakeholders across the Digital Marketing and eBusiness team to restructure endtoend workflows, reducing manual effort and reliance on coordinationbased execution.
• Translate business goals and operational needs into systemdriven execution models, including autonomous and humanintheloop designs.
• Own the full lifecycle of automated workflows, including creation, iteration, performance measurement, and retirement.

• Build and configure solutions, agents, and platform automations using existing ITapproved tools and systems.
• Act as the orchestration layer across marketing platforms by connecting data, actions, and decision logic to minimize manual handoffs.
• Provide operational stewardship for critical platform connections, tagging frameworks, and measurement touchpoints that automation and agentdriven workflows depend on.
• Ensure automations are resilient, observable, and aligned with marketing objectives rather than oneoff task execution.

• Provide connective enablement across core marketing platforms and integrations, ensuring the foundational systems between major initiatives remain reliable, governed, and aligned with automation-driven execution.
• Partner closely with existing digital marketing data, analytics, IT, and platform experts to clarify ownership boundaries, handoffs, and escalation paths, without duplicating analytics, reporting, or insight-generation responsibilities.
• Serve as the coordination point for cross-platform integration health, tagging governance, and measurement continuity, particularly where responsibilities span multiple teams or tools.
• Establish shared standards, documentation, and system expectations that enable consistent execution while respecting existing subject-matter ownership.
• Identify foundational gaps or risks that could undermine automation, agent-led workflows, or AI-enabled capabilities, and work with the appropriate owners to address them.

• Restructure traditional project and program management responsibilities for marketing execution by embedding planning, coordination, and tracking logic directly into systems and automations.
• Own outcomes such as cycletime reduction, elimination of manual work, and adoption of automated workflows across the team.
• Evaluate requests and initiatives and recommend when automation is not the right solution, prioritizing impact over activity.
• Ensure the clarity, reliability, and continuity of foundational integrations and execution enablers that support automation-driven marketing workflows.

• Partner with Digital Marketing leadership to determine agentowned vs humanowned responsibilities.
• Define and document humanintheloop expectations, escalation paths, and accountability for automated workflows.
• Manage automation ownership models at the individual, team, or department level and retire solutions when they no longer provide value.

• Lead adoption, rollout, and change management for newly restructured workflows and automationdriven systems.
• Partner with marketing managers to ensure new ways of working are understood, adopted, and sustained.
• Challenge legacy processes and advocate for improved execution models grounded in systemdriven delivery.

• Serve as the primary advisor for Digital Marketing on effective use of AIenabled capabilities within existing IT approved platforms.
• Establish best practices for responsible, effective automation and Copilot usage across the Digital Marketing and eBusiness team.
• Act as the marketing liaison to IT for larger enterprise AI initiatives, representing marketing workflows and requirements without owning enterprise AI strategy or infrastructure.
