Director, Marketing Operations

Who are we?

Buyers Edge Platform stands at the forefront of revolutionizing the food service industry through technology, purchasing power and partnerships. We are dedicated to empowering stakeholders across the entire foodservice ecosystem (operators, distributors, manufacturers) with efficiency and unprecedented visibility. With a diverse portfolio of over a dozen brands, our mission is clear: to reduce costs, streamline the foodservice supply chain, and propel the industry from manual to automated.

Today, we are one of the largest players in foodservice, with over 200K operator locations across North America and over $50 billion of aggregated spend volume. Our commitment to food service excellence is proven in four distinct areas of value: Digital Procurement Network, Fresh Solutions, Supply Chain Management, and Software. Buyers Edge Platform is not just a provider – we are a strategic partner on the journey towards a more efficient, connected, and automated future for the foodservice industry.

This position is remotely based. We are unable to offer work sponsorship for this role.

As Director, Marketing Operations, you own the systems, data, analytics, and processes that power predictable pipeline creation across BEP's entire portfolio. You are the architect of how marketing measures, enables, and demonstrates its contribution to revenue—internally and externally. You report directly to the CMO and partner closely with Division Marketing Leaders to operationalize strategy and drive execution at scale. You also partner with Sales, Operations, Business Intelligence, and Sales Enablement to ensure marketing systems, data governance, and lead management enable seamless handoffs and accurate revenue attribution. You build the systems, standards, and playbooks that transform data into action and create transparency across the funnel. You are equal parts strategist, systems builder, and operator—someone who moves from architectural design to hands-on optimization without losing either thread.

Your Impact:

• Own funnel reporting and pipeline measurement: Design and maintain executive-ready dashboards across funnel conversion, campaign ROI, pipeline contribution, and attribution. Define trusted metrics (MQL, SQL, sourced/influenced revenue) aligned across Division Marketing Leaders, Sales, Operations, and Finance. Translate data into actionable recommendations that improve pipeline quality, velocity, and marketing ROI.
• Modernize and scale martech: Audit, optimize, and own the marketing technology stack across marketing automation, CRM integrations, data enrichment, attribution, intent, ABM, webinar/event platforms, lead routing, and analytics. Identify gaps, redundancies, and scalability risks. Lead implementation of tools that enable clean handoffs, accurate reporting, and efficient demand generation at scale.
• Design lead management and campaign operations: Build scalable frameworks for lead scoring, routing, lifecycle stage definition, SLA tracking, and handoff processes. Partner with Division Marketing Leaders and leaders across Events, Paid Media, and Content & Brand to design standardized campaign taxonomy, naming conventions, UTM governance, attribution rules, and QA processes. Improve lead routing accuracy, speed-to-lead, sales acceptance, and visibility into marketing-sourced opportunities.
• Enable demand generation at scale: Partner with Division Marketing Leaders to operationalize scalable campaign execution processes across email, nurture, paid programs, events, content syndication, and lifecycle marketing. Build standards that improve speed, quality, and consistency of campaign execution across divisions while enabling personalization and optimization.
• Establish GTM alignment and funnel governance: Own marketing's integration with Sales, Operations, and Business Intelligence to align on funnel definitions, operational workflows, and pipeline reporting. Partner with Sales Enablement to ensure marketing operations supports sales productivity and efficiency. Identify and resolve friction points in lead management and handoff processes.
• Integrate AI into operations: Identify scalable opportunities for AI in workflow automation, segmentation, personalization, data quality, and reporting. Establish guidelines that improve efficiency while maintaining operational rigor and data integrity.
• Lead and develop the operations team: Build, manage, and mentor the Marketing Operations team, including analytics, campaign operations, systems, and automation roles. Establish clear ownership, documentation, SLAs, and prioritization frameworks. Coach for impact and codify standards in scalable playbooks.
• Support M&A integration: As new brands are acquired, assess martech and operations implications post-close. Define integration approach for tools, processes, and data governance. Develop playbooks for operations and reporting alignment.
• Manage vendor, budget, and tool strategy: Own vendor relationships, tool renewals, budgets, and resourcing tradeoffs for the marketing operations function. Evaluate new tools and platforms that strengthen division performance and efficiency. Make strategic investment decisions based on impact and ROI.
