Program Manager

We are looking for a Program Lead with experience in Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) to help build and establish a new internal MMM capability within a global organization operating across 30+ markets.

The existing MMM program is already live with an external modeling partner. Your role will be to lead the transition towards a hybrid operating model, taking ownership of the program strategy, governance, stakeholder engagement and business value of MMM.

• Define business data requirements and coordinate with internal data teams and external partners.
• Act as the key interface between Marketing, Finance, country teams, Data and external modeling partners.
• Own the MMM learning agenda and ensure insights support senior business decision-making.
• Establish governance, reporting and steering processes.
• Drive resolution of program risks and issues.
• Support the recruitment and onboarding of the wider MMM team.
• Coordinate Data Scientists/Econometricians, vendor operations and marketing effectiveness specialists.

Requirements

• 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Strong understanding of Marketing Mix Modeling and econometrics, with the ability to challenge methodology, assumptions and results.
• Strong knowledge of media effectiveness, channel economics, diminishing returns and cross-channel interactions.
• Proven program/project management experience within a complex, matrixed organization.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders without formal authority.
• Strong financial and budget literacy, including business cases, forecasting and tracking spend.
• Fluent English.

Desirable

• Experience building a new capability, function or program from limited existing structure.
• Experience within retail, FMCG or another complex multi-market environment.
• Experience running RFI/RFP processes or working with external modeling/analytics partners.

The Opportunity

A chance to help shape a global MMM capability across 30+ markets, influencing how marketing investment and effectiveness are understood at senior level.

You won't simply be managing an existing program - you'll be helping build the strategy, operating model and governance around it.
