What you'll do

Are you a passionate leader with a knack for digital marketing operations and a heart for people development? Do you thrive in a cross-cultural environment, empowering teams to achieve excellence? We are seeking an inspiring Service Delivery Lead to join our vibrant Digital Marketing Operations team, shaping the future of digital marketing service delivery and transformation for our global client.

As our new Service Delivery Lead - Web, you will be at the forefront of delivering exceptional value and driving success for our client by ensuring the efficient and effective delivery of our Digital Marketing Operations. Our Web team specializes in the execution phase of digital marketing campaigns and all other services of the pre-defined service scope. We translate the client’s defined briefs and designed (global) campaigns into tangible deliverables, like the creation of web pages and PR/QR publications. We deliver consulting and arrange troubleshooting in collaboration with our client’s IT partner.

Reporting directly to the Service Delivery Manager, you will be entrusted with the vital role of nurturing, guiding, and empowering our talented team of 9 Digital Marketing Support Web specialists. In this assignment, you’ll be working closely and alongside the Service Delivery Lead for the Email domain and the Service Delivery Manager. But of course, you will be supported by a broader team of specialists, empowering you to drive meaningful change.

Your leadership will be crucial in fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment, where team members feel supported, challenged, and motivated to excel. While upholding our commitment to meeting service KPIs and executing key operational processes to the highest standards, you will equally focus on the growth and development of your team. You'll serve as their primary point of contact and a trusted support, ensuring their day-to-day work is not only efficient but also enriching. Beyond your leadership responsibilities, you will remain hands-on, actively engaging with requesters through Jira and providing direct operational support.

What we are looking for?

  • Inspiring leadership and team development: Lead, mentor, and coach a diverse team of Service Experts, fostering a positive, inclusive, and growth-oriented environment. Provide regular, constructive, and empowering feedback during monthly 1:1 sessions to help each team member reach their full potential.

  • Operational Excellence and process ownership: Drive and optimize delivery processes at a team level, ensuring effective and scalable execution against qualitative and quantitative KPIs and service scope. Take full ownership of executing service delivery processes within the team, empowering them to contribute to process improvements.

  • Hands-on contribution: Support in organizing, assigning, and executing our client’s demand, stepping in to solve complex (requester, planning or IT) challenges and maintaining hands-on involvement with operational tasks as required. Therefore, some technical knowledge on Adobe CMS platforms is a plus. 70% of your work consists of people management, 30% will be hands-on operational (excellence) work.

  • Proactive problem solving: Drive escalations to timely resolution and lead initiatives that enhance process efficiency, proactively preventing future issues and continuously improving our activation value chain within the Digital Marketing Operations organization.

  • Strategic collaboration: Foster collaboration across various team roles and actively engage with the client’s stakeholders to identify opportunities for improvement, share findings, and drive enhancements within our digital marketing ecosystem and service delivery.
