• Collaborate with the Director of Marketing and the Director of Communications and PR to ensure briefs are integrated into Go‑To‑Market (GTM) campaign plans and content strategies.
• Ensure timely delivery of campaign inputs and updates to support GTM alignment and lead generation and conversion goals.

Strategic Planning & Stakeholder Communication

• Support the VP of Global Marketing in preparing updates, reports, and recommendations to ensure recruitment‑informed campaign planning.
• Distill and present key takeaways from recruitment strategy meetings to internal marketing stakeholders.
• Facilitate alignment meetings and touchpoints between marketing, creative, content, paid media, and enrollment teams.

• Experience developing marketing briefs, campaign strategy documents, or enrollment plans.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple complex workstreams.
• Proficiency in collaboration and workflow tools (e.g., Wrike, Asana, Salesforce, Slack) is a plus.
