  • You provide integration direction across the entire GTM and Marketing ecosystem, collaborating with enterprise-wide functions and global teams as needed.
  • Reporting directly into the Global GTM Operations & Modernization Director and coordinating through the Integration Management Office (IMO), the firm's central governance body for coordinating and overseeing integration execution, you translate enterprise integration priorities into structured, phased execution plans.
  • The GTM and marketing integration capability leads report into this role.

  • Serve as the single accountable owner and strategic coordinator for global platform-firm integration across GTM and marketing, maintaining an integrated view of scope, milestones, owners, dependencies, decisions, risks, financials, and BAU handoffs.
  • Lead and align the GTM and marketing integration capability leads across Brand & Marketing, Creative, Sales & Marketing Collateral, Proposal Services, Marketing Operations, Reporting & Insights, and related workstreams, establishing clear accountability while enabling each leader to focus on specialized delivery.
  • Partner closely with the Customer Platforms Leader and CRM integration resources, to align shared milestones, data requirements, technology dependencies, risks, and go-live decisions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Finance, Technology, or related field; MBA preferred
  • 10+ years of experience in go-to-market strategy, marketing operations, business integration, M&A execution, transformation, or related leadership roles within professional services or B2B environments
  • Demonstrated experience leading complex, multi-workstream integrations or transformations and coordinating specialized functional teams within a global, matrixed organization
  • Strong GTM and marketing experience, with an understanding of how brand, creative, sales enablement, proposals, marketing operations, CRM, reporting, analytics, and digital capabilities connect within an integrated operating model
  • Proven ability to maintain an enterprise-wide view, anticipate downstream impacts, manage dependencies and sequencing, and convert ambiguity into clear options, trade-offs, recommendations, and decisions
  • Experience leading acquisition or business integration planning from discovery through execution, readiness, and transition into BAU ownership
  • Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders, align functional experts, and present complex issues in a concise, decision-ready manner
  • Strong commercial and financial acumen, including experience with integration budgets, forecasts, cost tracking, resource models, and governance reporting
  • Working knowledge of GTM and marketing technology environments and the ability to assess unfamiliar tools, contracts, integrations, owners, and business dependencies
  • Dynamic, adaptable, and comfortable leading through ambiguity, changing priorities, incomplete information, and multiple concurrent integrations; can travel as needed
