About the Role

~1 min read

Strategy, Planning and Operations (SPO) is the layer that connects Marketing: the planning rhythm, the budget and the administrative coordination that keeps the team aligned and moving in the same direction. As SPO Specialist, you'll support Marketing Leadership in keeping that layer working well. You'll run the quarterly OKR cadence and the marketing calendar, manage budgeting and PO processes, and look after team operations, from onboarding and the Learning & Development programme to offsites and events.

You'll also spend time embedded with teams such as Content, Product Marketing or Social Media to set up their operations or support a major launch. Throughout, you'll use Asana and AI to remove admin friction and improve how all Marketing teams work together. It's a hands-on, cross-functional role for someone who wants to support a large team.

Marketing experience is a plus. Admin or operational experience is essential.
