Responsibilities
• Lead the FES marketing budget with Finance: total envelope, annual plan, quarterly phasing and the reforecast cycle. • Own the FES investment plan presented to the SVP and executive team: how much we spend, the brand versus performance split, the expected return on each, and the risks. • Set the brand and performance envelopes, and the return guardrails each must meet (e.g. blended CAC and payback for performance; reach, awareness and demand for brand). • Decide in-year moves between brand and performance, using portfolio-level response curves and marginal rather than average return. • Own the marketing mix model (in-house or vendor): design, calibration with experiments and falsification checks, as the single source of truth for the incremental return of brand and performance spend. • Own the FES test agenda and governance: incrementality tests prioritized by budget at stake, pre-registration, power and sample size, no early looks before the registered read, decision rules (scale, hold, cut) and a shared log of results. Test cells are designed with the teams that run the media. • Set FES metric standards (blended versus paid CAC, value windows, denominators) so the investment plan, the scorecard and team reporting all use the same reconciled numbers. • Build and lead the team, starting with hiring the Manager, Marketing Investment + Effectiveness. • Partner with Data Science and Analytics on cohort value models and early value signals, and on what they can and cannot support.
