About the Role, Accountabilities & Outcomes
As the Marketing Operations & Planning Manager, you will be the primary engine driving the operational excellence of the Marketing, Content, and Comms team. Reporting directly to the CMO’s Chief of Staff, you will sit at the intersection of strategy, resource planning, and execution.
This is a high-visibility, high-impact role designed for an action-oriented professional who can think broadly about business operations while obsessing over the details. You will be responsible for ensuring our strategic recommendations are backed by strong operating rhythm and rigorous planning and that our multi-million dollar investments are tracked with precision.
Key Accountabilities:
Strategic Planning Support: Assist the Chief of Staff in driving the annual strategy and quarterly planning cycles, ensuring inputs from the wider Marketing, Content and Comms team, Finance, HR, and Product are synthesised into actionable roadmaps.
Operational Rhythm: Own the "operating beat" of the team, managing the tracking of OKRs and performance metrics to ensure the team is delivering on its promises to the business.
Business Casing & Investment Logic: Support the development of robust business cases for new initiatives. This includes defining the problem, outlining the "size of the prize," and collaborating with stakeholders to model potential ROI.
Budget & Financial Governance: Partner with the Chief of Staff and Finance to manage the quarterly budget process, ensuring accurate tracking of spend, outcomes, and ROI across Residential and Commercial businesses.
Cross-Functional Momentum: Build strong relationships with cross-functional peers to streamline workflows and remove silos, ensuring the Marketing, Content, and Comms team are aligned with broader company goals.
Team Culture & Enablement: Partner with the Chief of Staff and HR to execute initiatives that drive team engagement, development programs, and high-performance reward systems.
Process Optimisation: Continuously identify "friction points" in how we work, leveraging tools and automation to improve efficiency and team agility.
Our Ideal Person
Essentials
Experience: Minimum 5 years of professional experience in a fast-paced environment. We are looking for a "high-growth" individual. Perhaps you’ve completed a structured Graduate Program for a Consulting or large Enterprise company. Alternatively, you are driving strategy / planning within a leading creative agency.
Commercial Acumen: You are comfortable with "Business Case" thinking. You know how to pull together the data and narrative required to justify an investment or a shift in strategy.
Delivery: You are structured and organised, with the ability to plan and drive project outcomes and deliverables, in navigating teams to meet deadlines and gateways.
Tooling Proficiency: Expert-level experience with project management tools (e.g., Asana, Monday.com, JIRA) and a high level of comfort with financial tracking software and Excel/Google Sheets.
Action-Oriented Mindset: You are someone who "gets stuff done." You don't just identify problems; you build the spreadsheet, schedule the meeting, and drive the solution to completion.
Business Breadth: You can "speak the language" of different functions. You understand how a marketing budget impacts a P&L and how a product roadmap influences a communications strategy.
People & Influence: Exceptional interpersonal skills. You can navigate complex stakeholder landscapes and influence colleagues who may be more senior than you through logic, empathy, and clarity.
Analytical Rigor: Strong proficiency in data synthesis and financial tracking. You are comfortable turning complex inputs into simple, executive-level updates.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Marketing, or a related field.
Preferred
Experience in Tech, Media, Real Estate, or a high-growth SaaS environment.
Exposure to structured problem-solving and change management frameworks. You understand that landing a strategy is 50% logic and 50% bringing people along for the journey.
Experience in leveraging AI tools to accelerate your workflow, automate routine tasks, and synthesise large amounts of information for faster decision-making
