The Senior Manager, Commercial Execution & Program Management is focused on the day-to-day management of our promotional offerings. This critical role within the Growth Marketing & Content team drives results by managing in-quarter commercial execution, working closely with external partners to secure and maximize promotional investments, and pioneering new ways of working.

• Performance Alignment & Reconciliation: Actively monitoring in-quarter promotional performance and recommending alternative promotional offerings or contingency actions to ensure the delivery of quarterly volume, revenue, and cost targets while maximizing overall commercial yield.

• OEM Investment Management: Ensuring we secure a fair share of promotional investments, while working closely with key stakeholders including Finance and Sourcing to manage the entire funding lifecycle-from contract execution and invoicing through to final payment processing.

• Process Optimization: Initiating and leading large-scale programs designed to structurally optimize legacy processes and establish faster, more agile ways of working across the commercial pipeline.

• AI Implementation & Automation: Transforming manual tasks by deploying AI solutions and workflow automations to streamline the creation of promotion materials, OEM funding trackers, and all marketing briefs.

• Program Management: Scoping projects, developing roadmaps, and managing functional stakeholders to ensure flawless execution and the successful adoption of new automated tools across the organization.

You'll need to have:

• Experience building product requirements, developing business cases, and driving the strategy behind technical product builds.

• Experience managing multiple high-visibility, high-complexity projects simultaneously.

• Experience presenting to senior leadership and managing executive stakeholders.

• Demonstrated ability to bring a product through the development cycle and to the market.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• An MBA or other related advanced degree.
