- Contribute to the creation and rollout of brand enablement materials, including playbooks, guidelines, toolkits, and internal communications.
- Help ensure brand enablement work is practical, usable, and aligned to how teams actually operate, not just theoretically sound.
- Support change management and adoption by gathering feedback, identifying friction points, and continuously improving enablement approaches.
Cross Functional Partnership & Leadership Exposure
- Act as a connective tissue across Brand Strategy, Brand Creative Studio, and broader Marketing teams, helping work move smoothly from strategy to execution.
- Prepare materials, updates, and readouts for leadership reviews and decision making forums.
- Gain exposure to senior leaders within Marketing and the Office of the CMO, learning how enterprise priorities are set and executed.
