About the Role

Syndio 's marketing organization runs a high volume of concurrent, cross-functional initiatives: product launches, category campaigns, executive events, partner co-marketing, and strategic brand work, spanning Brand, Content, PMM, Revenue Marketing, and PR. This role exists to make sure that volume of work actually lands: on time, with clear ownership, and with visible progress against goals.

This is a hybrid role by design. Half the job is marketing operations: the systems, processes, and infrastructure that let the team execute efficiently (tooling administration, vendor operations, reporting, workflow design). The other half is program/project management: building project plans, running cross-functional standups, tracking deliverables to completion, and defining and measuring what success looks like for major initiatives. The person in this role is the connective tissue across the marketing org, the one who can tell you, at any point, what's in flight, who owns it, what's at risk, and whether it's working.

This is not a role for someone who wants to specialize narrowly in either ops administration or project coordination alone. We need a systems thinker who can operate in both modes and knows when each is called for.

Marketing Operations

- Design and maintain repeatable operating processes: campaign intake, creative request workflows, approval chains, content calendars
