Job Summary

Drive and scale a global Marketing PMO to deliver consistent, measurable outcomes across regions.

  • Own governance, frameworks, and cross-functional alignment to hit OKRs.
  • Must-have: 10+ years in marketing operations or PMO leadership; proven people leadership.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead the Marketing PMO: Manage and mentor a team of project managers; establish global standards, workflows, and governance (including RACI frameworks) that bring "order to the chaos" of a high-volume marketing organization.
  • Build Operational Infrastructure: Implement and optimize the tech stack (Asana, AI-enabled workflows, and productivity platforms) to streamline collaboration and identify execution bottlenecks before they happen.
  • Scale the Model Globally: Partner with international marketing leads to deploy the PMO model across global regions, ensuring a "Glocal" balance of consistency and regional flexibility.
  • Drive Cross-Functional Alignment: Serve as the primary marketing representative within Instructure’s enterprise PMO. You will bridge the gap between marketing, product, and sales to ensure our OKRs are tracked and achieved.
  • Partner with Marketing Leadership: Work as a strategic peer to Business Unit leads, Product Marketing, and Digital teams to prioritize resources, coordinate major launches, and keep the CMO informed of operational health and risks

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in project management or business operations, specifically within a top-tier advertising agency or a high-growth in-house marketing organization.
  • Proven People Leader: Experience managing teams of project managers and coordinating large-scale, complex programs of work.
  • Strategic & Systems-Oriented: You don’t just manage tasks; you build the frameworks (Salesforce, Asana, Tableau) and AI-enabled workflows that allow teams to scale.
  • B2B Savvy: A deep understanding of how marketing supports a complex B2B sales model and enterprise software cycles.
  • Expert Navigator: Exceptional stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence executive leadership and drive alignment across global, matrixed teams.
  • Adaptable: You thrive in fast-moving environments and are equally comfortable defining high-level strategy as you are "rolling up your sleeves" to solve an execution challenge.
