To enable Marketing employees to contribute to, and own, the success of the business plan, we are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented candidate who can work hand-in-hand with key stakeholders to develop and foster a department-wide program, focused on the marketing specific skills, collaborative engagement, and educational efforts needed to enable marketing employees' professional growth.

• With the support from peers and leaders, develop and maintain a comprehensive communication and messaging strategy to effectively and consistently cascade key information throughout the department to provide the necessary context to enhance decision-making and collaboration. This will require close collaboration with peers, executive marketing leaders and key stakeholders across the department and company.
• Administer key functional protocols that are critical to ensuring the department operates in an efficient and smooth manner. Activities may include (but are not limited to): drafting email announcements; technology set up for large meetings; agenda creation; deck facilitation.
