  • Define and execute acquisition, engagement & retention strategies in close coordination with both fellow marketing colleagues (ie, Product Marketing Managers, Paid UA team and CRM/Direct Marketing team, etc) and cross-functional stakeholders such as Product Management, Business Development, Operations, Corporate Communications, Legal and PR.
  • Build and strengthen relationships with key business partners and drive global alignment on major marketing initiatives.
  • Build, guide and supervise the global digital marketing budget. Conduct return on investment analyses on all digital marketing campaigns and apply findings to future programs.
  • Assist business development teams in creative pitches to partners with a special focus on collaboration with partners on digital channels to improve business impact.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree (or foreign equivalent) in Marketing, Communications, Business Administration, or a related field. Master’s degree a plus.
  • 8-12 years of relevant marketing experience in multiple areas of marketing including: product positioning, social media marketing, community management, direct marketing, event marketing, consumer lifecycle management, paid media campaign strategy and management.
  • Proven capacity for developing and understanding strategy.
  • Passion and skills for using data and analytics to drive business impact.
  • Experience working on a highly cross-functional team with ability to handle complex projects with multiple stakeholders and priorities.
  • Strong leadership, initiative, and outstanding verbal and written communication skills.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic and flexible environment.

Plus If…

  • You are fluent in Japanese.
  • You have experience in trans-media storytelling.
  • You are familiar with and have a passion for Niantic games.
