JD for Lead – Strategic Programs & Governance position - Hyderabad.
Candidate with a strong Digital Marketing foundation, spanning strategy, campaign planning, and channel execution, are strongly preferred for this role.
Strategy, Marketing Lifecycle & Ideation
- Bring end-to-end marketing lifecycle knowledge from strategy and ideation through to implementation, with a strong upstream orientation (concept development, strategic framing, GTM planning) rather than only execution.
- Hands-on experience across digital marketing channels (paid social, programmatic, marketing automation, content/campaign management) is essential, along with the ability to translate channel-level insight into upstream strategy.
- Working knowledge of marketing/martech and how they fit into an integrated GTM stack.
- Evaluate and recommend different ways of working, frameworks, and tools relevant to marketing, GTM strategy, and delivery models, adapting these to the client's context.
- Turn high-level executive goals into clear, actionable roadmaps, working closely with client and internal stakeholders to align and establish these roadmaps.
- Understanding of how AI/personalization/marketing analytics tools (e.g., audience segmentation, attribution modeling, campaign optimization engines) are applied in a digital marketing context, and ability to identify where these can be introduced into the client's GTM approach.
- Identify, implement, and drive adoption of Artificial Intelligence opportunities across relevant areas of the engagement.
Governance & Strategic Decision-Making
- Own strategic decisions related to onboarding new services and ongoing governance of the engagement.
- Apply strong knowledge of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) processes to proactively identify and mitigate risk.
- Maintain good working knowledge of industry quality process guidelines and ensure these are reflected in project delivery.
- Take ownership of escalations, driving clear root cause analysis (RCA) and remediation plans in partnership with stakeholders.
- Familiarity with digital marketing performance metrics and reporting (funnel metrics, campaign ROI, engagement/conversion benchmarks) to ensure governance decisions are grounded in marketing-specific KPIs, not just delivery metrics.
- Escalate delays proactively and secure the right support to expedite resolution.
Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Management
- Maintain strong working relationships across Cognizant internal teams/departments to quickly identify the right POC when needed.
- Partner with product, technology, finance, and operations teams to unblock delivery hurdles — often without formal authority over those teams.
- Work closely with Cognizant architects and client (Novartis) leads to plan, develop, and deploy integrations.
- Collaborate with Cognizant competency teams and HR to onboard external resources quickly.
- Work closely with Cognizant/client stakeholders to ensure successful submission of POCs.
Leadership, Reviews & Reporting
- Demonstrate proven leadership through timely, appropriate updates to all stakeholders.
- Own and drive monthly and quarterly review meetings, plus weekly reviews on a need basis.
- Facilitate end-to-end workshops for onboarding new capabilities.
- Support resource planning for the team.
Operating Model & Onboarding
- Where needed, define the operating model for onboarding new services, in agreement with the client.
Skills & Attributes
- Strong analytical and structured problem-solving ability; can convert ambiguous problem statements into workable solutions quickly.
- Ability to creatively apply solutions to real-world client issues with measurable, high-quality outcomes.
- Background in Digital Marketing (agency, in-house brand team, or marketing consulting) strongly preferred, with exposure to both the strategic/planning side and the campaign execution side of the discipline.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills across client and internal ecosystems.
- Comfortable operating in a matrixed environment with influence-based (not authority-based) delivery.
- Exposure to AI-driven opportunities within marketing/delivery contexts is a plus.
- Life Science, Healthcare or Pharma marketing exposure is desired.
