The Director of Marketing (DM) leads the organization’s marketing strategy, campaigns, events, and brand visibility. In procurement, the DM acts as a user department lead, ensuring marketing needs are well-defined, budgeted, and delivered through compliant processes alongside the PMU and Tender Board.
Initiate and plan marketing procurement needs (media buys, creative services, research, merchandise, event services) and submit them to the PMU for inclusion in the annual procurement plan.
Prepare Statements of Requirements/Terms of Reference and technical specs for marketing-related goods/services (e.g., campaign deliverables, media plans, event scopes).
Liaise with PMU throughout the procurement cycle, tender docs, clarifications, evaluation logistics, up to contract signing.
Nominate/participate in evaluation committees for marketing tenders when subject expertise is required.
Verify deliverables and invoices: confirm media placements, creative outputs, event execution, and KPIs before endorsing payment claims.
Monitor contract performance (timelines, KPIs, and brand compliance) and report deviations to PMU for corrective action.
Recommend contract amendments/variations through PMU if campaign scope or timelines change.
Maintain and archive contract management records (reports, approvals, acceptance) and submit to PMU at contract closeout.
Coordinate with sub-units, Marketing Manager (MM), MICE Unit, and Marketing Personnel, for needs identification and performance tracking.
Collaborate during budgeting so all marketing procurement aligns with approved budgets and action plans.
