Marketing Manager (Planning & Performance)

About us

Love, Bonito is Southeast Asia’s leading womenswear brand, built with a mission to empower women to find confidence through style. Incorporated in 2010 in Singapore, we’ve since grown from a humble online startup into a multi-channel business with over 20 stores and counting across Asia and a thriving online presence.

For the next decade, we are looking to expand through new categories, markets, wholesale partnerships, and brand acquisitions. We are evolving into a next-generation regional consumer group — one that blends heart with performance, and creativity with technology.

At our core, we’re a team of builders, dreamers, and doers who believe culture is more than words on a wall — it’s how we show up every day. We move fast, stay curious, and take bold bets on ideas and people we believe in. Here, you’ll find a community that challenges you to grow, trusts you to lead, and celebrates you for being you. Together, we’re shaping the future of Asian brands — from right here in Southeast Asia, to the world.

The role

Love, Bonito's marketing team is creative and energetic. What we are building now is the commercial rigour layer that makes creativity count. Reporting directly to the CEO, you sit outside the marketing pillars and your job is to make sure they are all pointed at the right objectives, on time, on budget, and measurably delivering. You are not here to run campaigns. You are here to ensure every campaign is worth running.

Main responsibilities :

Strategic Campaign Discipline

• Own the briefing standard — every campaign must have a clear objective, hero products, channel plan, and KPIs before it is approved
• Challenge briefs that are idea-led rather than objective-led — ask the hard questions before resources are committed
• Run post-campaign reviews — what did we set out to do, what happened, what changes next time

Performance Analytics & Insight

• Own the weekly marketing performance scorecard — produce one clear, decision-ready CEO view
• Go beyond reporting — translate what the data means and what should change as a result
• Partner with the Data team to improve marketing attribution and measurement frameworks

Budget Management & Dynamic Forecasting

• Own the total marketing budget — track actuals vs plan across all pillars weekly
• Produce a dynamic monthly run rate forecast — flag overspend and reallocation opportunities in real time
• Build quarterly budget reviews with scenario planning for CEO decision-making

Planning Rigour & Timeline Governance

• Own the global commercial marketing calendar — every campaign and launch in one place
• Hold pillar heads accountable to timelines — flag slippage early, escalate when needed
• Manage the quarterly planning cycle — translate strategy into 90-day plans with clear milestones

Cross-Pillar Accountability

• Act as the commercial conscience of the marketing organisation — challenge whether activity is strategically sound and financially disciplined
• Produce a monthly marketing health report for the CEO — performance, forecast, risks, recommended actions
• Drive a culture of analytical rigour — raise the bar on how decisions are made and defended

Qualifications & Experience

• 4–7 years in a commercially rigorous environment — consulting, marketing analytics, commercial finance, or strategy in a consumer or e-commerce business
• Strong financial acumen — owns budgets, builds dynamic forecasts, explains variances clearly
• Highly analytical — builds models, spots patterns, translates findings into decisions
• Enough marketing fluency to challenge a brief — knows what good looks like
• Confident pushing back on people more senior or more experienced than you
• Scale-up experience strongly preferred — comfortable building processes from scratch
