  • Develop relationships with key leaders from the country, within and beyond Marketing. PR, Social, MP, and Product are key cross-functional partners with whom to connect to develop and expand the role's influence.

  • Work with Marketing Planning Managers to produce and elevate data and insights as needed that can influence title support decisions, country strategies, and resource allocation.

EXPORT STRATEGIC PARTNER

  • Have a key role in the export of campaigns by providing strategic insights upstream from the markets outside of the home territory.

  • Be the connective tissue between the home territory and all supporting markets throughout campaign development.

  • Optimize the ways we work with exporting campaigns and identify areas that can bring scale and agility.

  • Key point of contact to global and/or regional cross-functional partners such as Consumer Products and Experiences.

CONNECTORS TO THE REST OF THE ORGANIZATION

  • Trusted cross-functional thought partner to APAC leaders, and Planning leaders in the US, LATAM, and EMEA.

Core Responsibilities 

  • Long Lead Marketing Planning & Prioritization: Partner with Country Marketing teams in the internal title prioritization workflow - helping identify local titles for export and socialize title-specific detail to best equip teams for decision-making and budget allocation. Collaborate with local Japan Marketing teams, and x-functional teams around the world, in upstream campaign planning for titles emanating from local slates.

  • Data & Insights: Track and analyze title performance with a data-led approach, working in both a proactive and reactive capacity to fuel global buzz around Japan titles. On top of individual title analysis, you will monitor broader business metrics in order to support country functions in delivering their marketing strategies.    

  • Internal Marketing Connectivity: Be the connective tissue between Japan title campaigns and Marketing efforts around the world. Proactively seek to understand local market strategies, nuances and ambitions and work with international markets to develop industry-leading campaigns.

  • Workflow Optimization: Seek innovation opportunities in the way that we work cross-functionally by identifying new workflows and needs for tools to bring optimizations and efficiencies.

  • Strategic Campaign Development: Partner with local Japan teams to help them identify export campaigns and then work closely with them on these export opportunities - consulting on strategy and positioning, bringing a global POV to the conversation, and subsequently working with supporting teams all over the world on their local campaigns. 

  • Operational Project Management: As relevant, support the operational work of the APAC Marketing team on export campaigns and in a reactive capacity, including setting regional timelines, managing project deliverables and campaign resources, serving as the go-to person for downstream asset sourcing, and partnering with cross-functional teams to fuel campaign execution.

  • Can confidently captain presentations/ discussion forums and effectively communicate campaign specifics to teams around the globe. 

  • Has a strong POV, and can expertly influence key stakeholders and foster deep relationships across the business.

  • Aptitude for numbers and analysis, with high proficiency in Excel/Sheets with a knack for crafting a story through data.
