Top Takeaways:
We answered some tough career questions:
Q: When should I change jobs? Should I stay at this job or look for another? A: Ask yourself these questions – Am I still learning? Have you outgrown your role? Remember that you should have competitive pay, challenging problems to solve, and a respectful, positive culture.
Q: What should I do if I am starting a senior marketing ops role at a new company? A: Be a sponge, assess the maturity of your team and company, and figure out the people dynamics before you make decisions. (My personal favorite from Mya James: “Listen like you’re wrong.”)
Q: How do I keep developing myself if I feel like my career has stagnated? A: Start to get curious. Be curious about your customers, product, industry, and profession. Remember – your career isn’t where you hang your hat. Build your career of skills, experiences, and value and you can do anything. – Ronald Gaines.
Q: How should we think of marketing operations given there are so many definitions? A: The job of marketing operations is to bring the CMO’s vision to life and to drive operational excellence throughout the GTM teams. Assess the biggest challenges your team is facing and match your skills to right solutions. Other advice is to create definitions, catalogs, and decks of marketing ops roles and responsibilities and shop those around to secure buy-in and support. – Dani Worthman
