Partner with FP&A;, accounting and legal on forecasting and compliance
You'll work with finance to model marketing spend scenarios, forecast ROAS and customer acquisition cost impacts on business projections, set the annual budget and reconcile actuals against the budget.
You'll collaborate with legal on compliance requirements for promotional campaigns, host incentive programs, and marketplace terms — ensuring all marketing initiatives meet regulatory obligations and company risk standards.
Own P&L; accountability
You'll manage the marketing P&L;, monitor performance against Board targets and business forecasts, and ensure accountability for delivering on growth and profitability objectives.
You'll own capital allocation decisions and demonstrate clear ROI on all marketing investments.
