  • Provide consistent status updates throughout the lifecycle of each request.
  • Manage stakeholder expectations professionally when timelines shift or requests require redirection.
  • Build credibility as a reliable and responsive point of contact for marketing support.
  • Assess submissions against scope, SLA, and marketing policy to determine the appropriate course of action.
  • Gather missing information from requestors before routing or executing.
  • Escalate requests that require team discussion, are complex, or come from VIPs.
  • Execute requests that align with the template library and coordinate with internal team members for bespoke requests.
  • Maintain accurate status records for all open requests in Asana.
  • Own intake process, SLA, and colleague experience improvement.
  • Document recurring scope issues and surface patterns for evolution.
