• Coordinate with Sales to support channel needs, distributor communications, customer presentations, and commercial campaigns

• Enforce brand consistency and asset governance so approved versions replace obsolete files everywhere they live: website, sales enablement library, print, and internal repositories

• Deliver monthly performance reporting across web, search, paid media, email, social, and events that ends with actions, owners, and dates, and manage marketing spend across platforms

• Ensure all customer facing materials are accurate, on brand, and follow the formal review and sign off process before release

Team Work Direction

• Provide day to day work direction, prioritization, and quality review for in house graphic design and PR and media resources

• Balance workload and capacity across brand, digital, and creative work so committed deadlines are protected

• Protect the creative workflow with consolidated, decision ready feedback and complete briefs before production begins
