Senior Director, Marketing Shared Services Operations

Job Summary

We are seeking a seasoned, strategic leader to oversee both the day‑to‑day operations and the strategic evolution of our global marketing shared services function. As Senior Director, Marketing, Shared Services Operations, you will lead a combined team of program managers — aligned to revenue marketing teams to manage priorities and cross‑functional coordination — and project managers — responsible for project setup, timelines, and execution tracking. This role ensures that marketing’s shared services deliver projects on time, on budget, and to the highest standard, while continuously improving how we work.

The role encompasses three core priorities:

Business‑as‑Usual (BAU) Shared Services Oversight



managing governance, project workflow, and resourcing to keep shared services running efficiently and effectively.

Transformation



refining intake processes, improving resource allocation, and evolving the delivery model for greater speed, clarity, and impact.

Hybrid Right‑Shoring for Elastic Scale



designing and managing a model that complements in‑house capabilities with global partners, providing flexible capacity to meet changing business needs.

This is a pivotal leadership position that blends operational excellence with strategic vision — ensuring marketing’s shared services team delivers today while building the capabilities needed for the future.

Key Responsibilities

BAU Shared Services Oversight

Lead a combined team of program managers and project managers overseeing the delivery of work across marketing shared services. Ensure program managers are tightly aligned to revenue marketing teams to manage priorities and dependencies. Ensure project managers set up projects, establish timelines, track progress, and maintain project documentation. Manage workflow and resource allocation to meet service‑level expectations for speed, quality, and responsiveness. Monitor capacity and performance, adjusting assignments to maintain balance and service excellence.

Governance & Operations Leadership

Establish governance frameworks, operational standards, and KPIs to ensure consistent performance across initiatives. Partner with marketing and business leaders to prioritize work and align resources with strategic objectives. Provide coaching, leadership development, and career growth opportunities for the program and project management team.

Transformation Strategy & Execution

Lead initiatives to modernize intake, prioritization, resource management, and service delivery. Develop and operationalize an integrated marketing planning process to forecast demand, manage pipeline, and proactively align resources. Implement tools, systems, and workflows that increase transparency, improve delivery speed, and strengthen cross‑functional collaboration.

Hybrid Right‑Shoring Model Management

Design and manage a hybrid right‑shoring model that augments in‑house capabilities with global partners to flex capacity as needed. Select, onboard, and manage right‑shoring partners to ensure quality, brand consistency, and service alignment. Optimize the mix of in‑house and right‑shored resources for cost efficiency and scalability.

Portfolio & Program Oversight

Govern the global marketing project portfolio to ensure alignment with enterprise strategy and business priorities. Oversee program and project intake, prioritization, and health monitoring, including risk management and performance tracking.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

Serve as the senior point of contact for leadership and stakeholders on shared services performance, capacity, and transformation progress. Provide executive‑level reporting on operational metrics, portfolio health, and strategic initiatives.

Financial Management

Oversee budgets for shared services operations and programs, ensuring alignment with marketing’s financial goals. Partner with Finance to track spend, forecast costs, and identify cost‑optimization opportunities.

QUALIFICATIONS

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or related field; MBA or advanced degree preferred. Additional certifications demonstrating proficiency in project management methodologies (e.g., PMP) strongly preferred.

Experience
