Marketing Innovation Manager - AI Enablement (Contract)

Key Responsibilities

• Champion Innovation: Act as the face of innovation in APAC, running high-energy workshops and "Vision Sessions" that inspire staff to rethink their daily workflows.
• Mentorship & Coaching: Support a high performing team, coaching them on how to identify automation opportunities and move from "problem" to "prototype."
• Community Building: Scale the local innovation community, turning passive users into "Innovation Champions" within their respective departments.

• Lead by Example: You aren't afraid to open the hood. You will personally architect and build "First-of-a-Kind" (FOAK) automations or AI prompts to prove viability.
• Solutions Architecting: Work alongside the COE teams to solve complex technical bottlenecks that Junior/Mid-level operators cannot crack.
• Cross-Functional Bridge: Act as the technical translator between the Innovation team and the wider business, ensuring our solutions are both powerful and user-friendly.
• Google Apps Script & Automation: Architect custom solutions using Apps Script to bridge gaps between Google Workspace apps (Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Drive), reducing manual overhead and creating seamless operational flows.
• AI-Assisted "Vibe Coding": Leverage LLM-powered coding assistants (e.g., Claude, Codex) to rapid-prototype, iterate, and build functional tools at high velocity, focusing on output over syntax.
  
  

• Industrialise Innovation: Move beyond "random acts of digital." You will design the frameworks that take a raw idea from a workshop and turn it into a deployed, documented, and billable case study.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

What You Bring

• The Visionary Edge: A deep understanding of the current AI/Automation landscape (LLMs, Agents, No-Code/Low-Code ecosystems).
• Execution Mindset: You are a "Builder." You have a portfolio of automations, tools, or products you’ve personally brought to life.
• Influence: The ability to walk into a room of skeptics and leave with a room of enthusiasts.
• Technical Aptitude: Proficiency in Google Apps Script and modern "vibe coding" workflows, demonstrating the ability to ship robust technical solutions quickly.
  
  

What You Will Not Be

• A "Slide-Only" Leader: You will not sit in meetings all day; you will build, test, and break things alongside your team.
• A Passive Observer: You don't wait for permission to innovate; you spot friction and solve it.
• A Pure Admin: While you ensure ops are smooth, your value is in strategic growth, not just updating trackers.
