Business Operations Manager

Job Overview:

Pay Range: $71.20hr - $76.20hr

Requirement/Must Have:

• 5+ years in marketing operations, marketing finance, or a closely related function within a B2B technology environment.
• A genuine dual fluency: you understand how enterprise finance and procurement systems work, and you understand how marketing and ecosystem enablement teams operate - and you've facilitated bridging the two.
• Proven experience building or improving operations processes, not just inheriting and maintaining them.
• Strong command of marketing-specific financial constructs: agency retainers, campaign budgets, event P&Ls, production cost structures, sponsorship agreements.
• Experience navigating procurement and finance processes - POs, accruals, MSAs, SOWs - with the ability to work within the system while advocating for it to evolve.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, paired with the judgment to know what actually matters.
• Strong communicator who can translate between marketing and business operations stakeholders without losing either audience.
• Ability to operate independently and hit the ground running.

Responsibilities:

• Own the integrated marketing budget across all functions and cost centers, maintaining real-time visibility into spend, commitments, and remaining capacity.
• Support other groups within Strategic Planning and Marketing on their budgets and related finance, procurement and tracking requirements.
• Translate marketing investments - campaigns, sponsorships, events, agency retainers, content production - into the financial constructs Finance and Procurement need to process them accurately.
• Partner with Finance on accruals, POs, and year-end close, bringing specific context that prevents misclassification and unnecessary friction.
• Build and maintain budget dashboards that give leadership clear, actionable visibility.
• Proactively surface budget risks, reallocation opportunities, and end-of-period variances before they become problems.
• Manage the full invoice lifecycle for marketing spend - routing, approval, reconciliation, and payment - with a process designed for the realities of marketing.
• Reconcile invoices against contracts and POs; resolve discrepancies with both vendors and Finance.
• Reduce the administrative burden on program and creative teams so they can stay focused on the work.
• Manage the end-to-end vendor lifecycle for marketing suppliers: sourcing, onboarding, contracting, performance, and offboarding.
• Maintain the master vendor and contract calendar so renewals, compliance requirements, and expirations don't catch the team off guard.
• Partner with Legal and Procurement on MSAs, SOWs, and NDAs - while advocating for terms and timelines that reflect the pace at which marketing needs to move.
• Build strong relationships with key agencies and partners; be the operational point of contact they can rely on.
• Assess existing company-wide processes and identify where they create unnecessary friction for marketing - then propose and implement adaptations that preserve compliance while enabling agility.
• Build operational frameworks for how the marketing team plans, executes, and reports - from annual budgeting cycles to campaign-level spend tracking.
• Act as a constructive internal advocate for marketing's needs with Finance, Procurement, Legal, and other business operations stakeholders.
• Support planning cycles including headcount modeling, program budgeting, and quarterly reforecasting.
• Serve as the operational liaison between three integrated marketing teams: Brand, Creative, Digital and Events, the AI & Leadership Marketing, and Global Communications teams, aligning on shared resources, budgets, and workflows.
• Produce regular operational reports that give marketing and Finance stakeholders the visibility they need.
• Ensure all spend is properly documented, categorized, and audit-ready.
• Support internal compliance requirements around vendor diversity, spend governance, and ethics policies.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in semiconductor, enterprise storage, or B2B tech infrastructure marketing.
• Background in high-growth, or resource-constrained environments where processes are still being defined.
• Prior contract or consulting engagements where you've had to build trust and credibility quickly within an existing team.

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 401(k) Retirement Plan
• Health Savings Account (HSA)
• Disability Insurance (Short-Term and Long-Term)
• Life and AD&D Insurance
• Paid Sick Leave (where required by applicable state or local law)
• Supplemental Insurance Plans
• Identity Theft Protection
• Pet Insurance
• Employee Wellness Programs
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Career Growth and Professional Development Opportunities
