At Gatekeeper Systems, we’re revolutionizing retail loss prevention and customer safety through a powerful combination of physical deterrents and cutting-edge technology—including AI, computer vision, and facial recognition. As a global leader with over 25 years of industry excellence and a growing, diverse team of 500 employees across offices in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, we’re driven by innovation, integrity, and impact. Join us and be part of a mission-focused team that’s making a real difference in the future of retail, providing innovative solutions and services that redefine industry standards.

POSITION SUMMARY:

The Marketing Operations Manager owns the full marketing operations and customer insights function, serving as the organization’s system owner and super-user for Microsoft Dynamics and Customer Insights. This role is responsible for operationalizing outbound marketing, governing CRM workflows, defining and tracking lead and prospect KPIs, and managing the complete process from lead acquisition through qualification and handoff to Sales (MQL).

This is a foundational role that blends marketing automation, CRM governance, and customer analytics—turning data into actionable insights that drive growth, alignment, and efficiency across Marketing, Sales, and Leadership.

This role is ideal for someone who has already been the primary owner of a CRM and marketing automation platform and wants to build something scalable—not maintain something that already exists.

This is not a junior admin role or a campaign-only role. You will be the system owner, process architect, and internal expert.

This role is for a builder, someone who enjoys turning ambiguity into structure, designing systems from the ground up, and creating clarity where none exists.
