As a leader in travel and expense solutions, we are creating a future where technology drives business value and inspires extraordinary results. Our AI-powered platform helps organizations modernize financial operations, increase visibility, and optimize spend across the enterprise.

The AI Workflow & Marketing Program Manager is a critical operations leadership role responsible for ensuring marketing programs, campaigns, and deliverables move efficiently from intake to impact. This role blends agency-style traffic management, marketing program oversight, and AI-powered workflow automation to align priorities, optimize resources, and deliver measurable business outcomes.

What You Will Do

• Own and operate Marketing’s end-to-end project intake, prioritization, and portfolio management, ensuring work is aligned to business goals, executive priorities, and customer journeys
• Design, implement, and continuously optimize AI-driven workflows to automate scheduling, workload balancing, alerts, and stakeholder communications across tools like Asana, Jira, Slack, and Google Workspace
• Stack-rank and re-prioritize a high volume of incoming marketing requests in a fast-paced, global, multi-product SaaS environment
• Define marketing program objectives, KPIs, and tactical plans, and monitor progress using data-driven performance indicators
• Forecast resource constraints using AI-powered alerts and collaborate with Marketing leadership to proactively resolve capacity, budget, or timeline risks
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and external agencies to ensure seamless execution and delivery
• Manage vendor and agency relationships to ensure contract compliance, on-time delivery, and efficient use of offshore and retained resources
• Produce weekly executive- and board-ready reporting that clearly communicates measurable outcomes (pipeline, bookings, conversion, ROI) using data aggregated across multiple systems
• Track time, spend, and overhead to support profitability analysis, operational improvements, and budget optimization
• Lead, mentor, and develop two senior Marketing Operations professionals, fostering shared knowledge and operational excellence across the team

What You Will Bring

• 7+ years of experience in agency traffic management, project management, or marketing operations, with program- or portfolio-level ownership
• 2+ years of people management experience leading senior individual contributors
• Hands-on experience building or managing AI-powered workflows and automation for scheduling, intake, reporting, or resource management
• Strong command of modern marketing and operations tools such as Asana, Jira, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot/Marketo, and Google Analytics

• Demonstrated strength in prioritization, time management, and decision-making under pressure
• Analytical mindset with the ability to define KPIs, evaluate program performance, and drive continuous improvement
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience

Who You Are

• An execution-focused operations leader who thrives in complexity and brings order to fast-moving environments
• Naturally pragmatic — you prioritize impact over process and solve problems with clarity and confidence
• Comfortable saying “no” (or “not yet”) when priorities, capacity, or budgets require discipline
• Energized by AI and automation, and constantly looking for smarter, faster ways to scale marketing operations
• Highly collaborative, with the ability to influence without authority across teams, levels, and time zones
