About the role:
You'll turn a growing stream of cross-functional marketing requests into a clear, managed process — from brief to launch — as the team builds a more structured marketing calendar.

What you'll do:

• Own promo and communication requests end-to-end, from brief intake to launch, publication, and result confirmation.

• Own the marketing workflow itself — the Jira board, task breakdown, statuses, deadlines, SLAs, templates, automation, and documentation — not just individual projects.

• Work at the intersection of marketing and project/operations management: brief creative functions directly while structuring a complex process with many stakeholders.

What you'll own:

• Run the Jira board as the single entry point for promo and communication requests, checking brief completeness, timeline realism, and task accuracy.

• Break requests into subtasks for design, copywriting, CRM, SMM, website, procurement, legal/permits, and other functions, assign owners, and track dependencies.

• Manage each request end-to-end from brief to delivery/publication and closure, including verifying the actual outcome.

• Track deadlines and real task status, flag risks early, and escalate stalled tasks.

• Maintain a single marketing calendar and keep it in sync with Jira to avoid conflicts across timelines, resources, and overlapping campaigns.

• Develop and improve cross-functional processes: SLAs, request templates, checklists, workflows, escalation procedures, documentation, and Jira automation.

What makes you a strong fit:

• Experience in marketing, marketing operations, or marketing project management, with a working understanding of how marketing campaigns and communications get launched.

• End-to-end experience managing projects or marketing requests with many parallel tasks and stakeholders.

• Strong cross-functional coordination skills — experience working with creative, business, legal, procurement, CRM/SMM, or similar functions.

• Strong structural and process mindset: able to turn a chaotic stream of requests into a clear workflow with defined ownership, timelines, and rules of engagement.

• Hands-on experience with Jira or similar task/project management systems, including boards, statuses, workflows, and task breakdown.

• Strong stakeholder management: able to gather missing information, manage expectations, hold deadlines, and escalate or redirect requests with clear reasoning.

What we offer:
