Job description

Job Classification: Project Mgmt, Transformation & Strategy - Project Mgmt, Transformation & Strategy The Opportunity Marketing is being reinvented around intelligent platforms, trusted data, and AI. Our MarTech, AI & Data Strategy team owns the capabilities that make that possible — and the AI Product & MarTech Enablement pillar is where new AI capability meets everyday marketing execution. The Director, AI Product & MarTech Enablement, leads this pillar. You will own two connected mandates: bringing AI into marketing — the use cases, decisioning, and orchestration that make campaigns smarter and faster — and driving MarTech enablement, so the organization gets maximum value from every platform it runs. You ll turn emerging AI from experiment into production-grade product, and you ll make the MarTech stack easier to adopt, better supported, and demonstrably more valuable. You ll operate in a highly matrixed environment as the alignment hub across the Enterprise Data Office, Analytics, Technology, Privacy, and Legal. What You ll Do: SET THE AI PRODUCT VISION AND ROADMAP Define and articulate a clear vision and roadmap for AI in marketing — the use cases, decisioning, and orchestration capabilities that turn marketing into an intelligent, always-on engine. Champion the adoption and integration of AI across the marketing organization to create measurable business value. Prioritize the AI use-case pipeline with senior leadership — securing resources, setting priorities, and measuring performance against clear objectives. Serve as the subject-matter expert on applied AI for marketing — GenAI, agentic workflows, decisioning, and orchestration — and guide the exploration of novel approaches to complex challenges. DELIVER AI PRODUCTS FROM CONCEPT TO PRODUCTION Lead the design, build, and deployment of AI products and tools — from proof-of-concept through production — meeting quality, scope, and timeline expectations. Oversee prompt engineering, AI tooling, and experience-intelligence capabilities that put AI directly into marketers hands Operationalize AI decisioning and orchestration across the MarTech stack , partnering with data and platform teams so models and agents are production-ready and integrated.

DRIVE MARTECH ENABLEMENT, ADOPTION, AND VALUE REALIZATION Own operational support of the MarTech tools and platforms — keeping the stack running smoothly and marketers unblocked. Establish and share best practices, playbooks, and standards that raise the bar on how the organization uses its MarTech investments. Drive innovation with MarTech tools — continuously surfacing new ways to generate value for the business. Lead the adoption and value-realization agenda — measurably increasing platform adoption and ensuring every MarTech investment delivers a clear return. SUPPORT DISCIPLINED AGILE DELIVERY Partner closely with Release Train Engineers (RTEs) and Scrum Masters to ensure Program Increment (PI) planning is executed on cadence and commitments are met. Translate roadmap priorities into well-formed epics, features, and backlogs — keeping delivery aligned to business value and dependencies managed across teams. Instill agile ways of working — transparency, iteration, and continuous improvement — across the AI and enablement teams. BUILD AND LEAD THE TEAM M entor, and develop a high-performing team spanning AI product, prompt engineering, AI business analysis, and MarTech enablement. Set clear goals, coach for growth, and cultivate a collaborative, innovative, data-driven culture that values continuous learning. Manage a blend of employees and contract specialists and oversee vendor and partner relationships — optimizing tool and API integrations and holding partners to quality, timeline, and value standards.
