• Ensuring measurement plans reflect reporting requirements and provide standard marketing measurement plans.
• Uploading business leads to Marketo and review performance dashboards for campaign insights.
• Identifying patterns, best practices, and efficiencies across marketing activities, incorporating past learnings into future planning.

Who are you going to work with?

In this role, you will work closely with a variety of internal and external stakeholders. You will interact with Microsoft marketers, VML global Service Delivery Hub teams, and third-party agencies. You will also collaborate with Event, Commercial, Social, and Data & Insights Marketing Coordinators within the Marketing Coordinator Program.

What do you bring to the table?

The ideal candidate for this role is a skilled project manager with a strong background in marketing execution. You have excellent communication skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. You are detail-oriented, process-driven, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

In addition, you have:

• 2+ years of experience executing marketing-related B2B events.
• Strong experience in a client-facing project and/or account management role.
• High level of compliance with company rules & processes e.g. personal data protection or brand guidelines.
