Position Summary

The Marketing Enablement Team (MET) exists to clear the path for our marketers to do what they do best: build emotional connections that inspire consumers to always reach for our brands. We build and refine the capabilities, processes, and practices that make great marketing possible - now and into the future.

As the Marketing Enablement Manager, you are at the center of how Beer Marketing operates. You will own and drive critical cross-functional processes - from things like commercial planning and budget management to integrated team ways of working, learning & development, and risk management. You'll partner with leaders across Brand Marketing, Brand Activation, Sales Enablement, Finance, IT, and Strategy to connect the dots, reduce friction, and accelerate the impact of a ~100-person marketing organization behind some of the most iconic brands in the industry.

This is a highly visible, high-impact role for someone who thrives on solving complex operational challenges, influencing the organization, and building the infrastructure that makes a world-class marketing team run.

      • Support the annual budget planning process, including timelines, templates, governance structures, and decision rights - partnering closely with Finance, Strategy, and Marketing leadership.
      • Drive day-to-day budget process improvements in partnership with IT and Finance, including tools assessment, taxonomy standardization, and systems-driven upgrades.
    • Integrated Team Ways of Working
      • Support and evolve integrated team structures (brand pods and integrated brand teams), including roles, responsibilities, decision rights, meeting cadences, and communication practices.
      • Create frameworks, tools, and training materials that empower brand directors and cross-functional teams to operate with clarity and accountability.
    • Communication & Team Culture
      • Lead change management efforts informed by stakeholder listening tours, surveys, and cross-functional collaboration to simplify how teams work together.
