Associate Manager, Planning & Business Operations – Go-To-Market
About the Role:
We’re looking for an organized, proactive and execution-focused Associate Manager to join our Planning & Business Operations (P&BO) team, focused on leading the cross-functional project management of our business’s Go-To-Market (GTM) efforts. This role serves as the connective tissue across Marketing and other business units, ensuring that GTM efforts are well-scoped, prioritized, and executed on time and with excellence. You’ll work at the heart of our most visible and cross-functional efforts—from product launches to brand campaigns and promotions.
You’ll work closely with various Marketing stakeholders from Brand (Design, Experience, Content and Social) and Growth (Full Funnel, Performance and Lifecycle), as well as key leads across Digital Product and Operations. If you thrive in a cross-functional environment and are excited about helping drive coordinated execution across teams, this could be the perfect fit.
What You’ll Do:
- Project manage and maintain a company-wide calendar for all GTM efforts, including product launches, brand campaigns, promotions, strategic initiatives and more.
- Build and manage workback timelines for specific GTM efforts.
- Facilitate GTM status meetings, tracking cross-functional deliverables and holding stakeholders accountable to timelines.
- Coordinate with internal shared resources (e.g., graphic design, product, fulfillment) to ensure project needs are met proactively.
- Support comms across GTM efforts, including setting agendas, driving follow-ups, and maintaining visibility in Slack and project management tools.
- Drive operational rigor and process improvements across how we plan and execute GTM campaigns.
- Escalate risks and blockers to P&BO leadership, while proactively proposing solutions.
What You'll Bring:
- Systems thinking—you thrive in ambiguity and love bringing order to chaos
- Clear communication with excellent follow-through and attention to detail
- A calm, collected sense of accountability—you know how to nudge without creating friction
- Passion for consumer brands, startups, and learning new things quickly
- Experience with Google Workspace, Slack, and tools like Asana or Monday
How You’ll Need:
- You have 1–2 years of experience in roles that required coordinating projects, managing timelines, or driving accountability across teams—whether in operations, customer experience, marketing, or even a fast-paced internship
- You’re used to wearing multiple hats and supporting workstreams that touch multiple functions or departments
- You excel at communication—whether setting agendas, following up with stakeholders, or maintaining clarity in Slack or project management tools
- You’ve helped organize or support launches, campaigns, or team-wide initiatives and understand what it takes to move projects from idea to execution
- You’re naturally organized, love a good checklist or calendar, and are excited about building structure in growing organizations
