Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day budget administration across allocations, forecasts, commitments, purchase requests, purchase orders, invoices, accruals, actuals, and reconciliation.
• Partner with Business Marketing leadership and Strategic Finance to operationalize allocation decisions, maintain forecasts, prepare scenarios, and surface tradeoffs.
• Work side-by-side with marketing leaders across campaigns, events, agencies, contractors, regions, and shared services to plan, pace, track, and manage spend.
• Manage the purchasing and contract lifecycle with Procurement, Finance, Legal, agencies, contractors, and vendors, including POs, SOWs, renewals, rate cards, and commitments.
• Maintain a trusted global view of spend; reconcile conflicting inputs, identify variances, duplicate costs, timing differences, and at-risk spend, and escalate material issues early.
• Build models, dashboards, and ad hoc analyses that connect investments to business goals and help leaders decide what to fund, reduce, defer, challenge, or escalate.
• Partner with Data Science and Analytics to improve how Business Marketing understands ROI, effectiveness, and the relationship between spend and outcomes.

Requirements

• Bring 4+ years of experience in business operations, strategic finance, FP&A, marketing operations, business analytics, consulting, or a related quantitative role in a fast-moving, matrixed organization; B2B business understanding preferred.
• Strong hands-on experience with significant, at scale budgets, forecasts, purchase orders, commitments, accruals, invoices, and reconciliation.
• Excellent analytical skills and genuine curiosity: you enjoy digging into messy data, answering ad hoc questions, and finding the business story behind the numbers.
• Practical understanding of purchasing, contracts, agencies, vendors, and the operational details that keep spend moving responsibly.
• Ability to communicate clearly, build trust with marketers and finance partners, and create alignment across different marketing functions, regions, and shared services without formal authority.
• An AI-native builder mindset: you see a repetitive spreadsheet, approval, reconciliation, or reporting task and start thinking about how to make it simpler, faster, and more useful.
