About the team

UKG is transforming how Marketing plans, executes, measures, and optimizes its investments. The team is building a connected, data-driven, and agentic artificial intelligence (AI)-first marketing operating model that links planning, campaign execution, marketing automation, attribution, and performance reporting.

You’ll work across Marketing, Marketing Operations, Enterprise Data and Analytics, Finance and Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A), Sales, Technology, and Architecture to improve how Marketing connects its investments to pipeline and revenue.

About the role

As Lead Product Manager, Marketing Planning & Automation, you’ll own the product vision, strategy, roadmap, and outcomes for Marketing Planning and the integrations that connect UKG’s marketing technology ecosystem.

You’ll lead the evolution of Marketing Planning into a scalable enterprise capability that connects strategic priorities, investment allocation, campaign development, execution, measurement, attribution, and performance.

- Enable Marketing leaders to model investment scenarios, priorities, capacity, and expected outcomes.

- Define a connected campaign operating model across Adobe Workfront, Eloqua, Marketo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Salesforce, Cvent, advertising technology, and Google Analytics.

- Eliminate manual handoffs, disconnected workflows, spreadsheets, and duplicate work across the campaign lifecycle.

- Connect campaign and channel data to engagement, marketing-qualified leads (MQLs), business development representative (BDR) engagement, opportunities, pipeline, and revenue.

- Partner with Data and Analytics to deliver trusted data models, reporting, dashboards, attribution, and performance insights.

- Identify opportunities to automate repetitive Marketing Operations work and progress from human-driven workflows to AI-assisted and AI-driven execution.

- Define product metrics for planning efficiency, campaign velocity, operational efficiency, adoption, data quality, attribution coverage, and business impact.

- Shape an agentic AI-first vision for planning and attribution, including recommendations on investment, program prioritization, scaling, and optimization.

- Establish appropriate human oversight, governance, explainability, and controls for AI-generated recommendations and decisions.

- Drive executive alignment and communicate product strategy, decisions, risks, progress, and outcomes.
