• Assist with the planning and prioritization for Activision and Blizzard International Communications comms budgets, agency retainers, and long‑range planning.
• Partner with Finance to ensure accurate financial reporting, compliance with internal controls, and disciplined spend management.
• Help leaders understand resourcing tradeoffs, budget implications, and capacity constraints through clear, concise summaries.
• Build trusted relationships across regions and other functions, enabling smooth execution in a matrixed environment.
• Prepare clear, executive‑ready materials for review and alignment.

• The team feels more organized, predictable, and focused.
• Leaders have clear visibility into priorities, timelines, and resources.
• Budgets, vendors, and operational processes are well‑managed and compliant.
• Complex initiatives move forward smoothly.

• 8+ years of experience in business management, operations, project management, or a similar role in a global, matrixed organization.
• Exceptional project management skills with a proven ability to bring structure to complex, ambiguous environments.
• Strong financial acumen, including experience partnering with finance teams on budgets, forecasting, and spend tracking.
• High attention to detail paired with the ability to see the bigger picture.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to distill complexity into clear, actionable insights.
• High emotional intelligence, professionalism, and a collaborative working style.

• Experience supporting communications, marketing, or corporate affairs teams.
• Familiarity with global agency or vendor management models.
• Experience working across multiple regions (EMEA, APAC, LATAM) and time zones.
