• Continuously evaluate process performance to identify additional automation and optimization opportunities

Platform & System Translation

• Work across marketing platforms and systems to ensure process designs are accurately reflected in system workflows, configurations, and controls
• Validate that systems function as execution engines for defined processes, not manual workarounds or shadow processes
• Ensure process designs account for downstream impacts such as integrations, handoffs, reporting, and data integrity
• Support governed execution by aligning process and system changes with established standards and controls

Change Management, Training & Adoption

• Lead and develop a team of change management and training specialists responsible for driving adoption of new processes and technologies

• Incorporate feedback, data, and evolving needs into iterative process enhancements
• Foster an environment of acceptance and respect that strengthens relationships, and ensures authentic connections with colleagues, customers, and communities
