How to Apply for Campaign Operations Specialist
at Xylem
🏢 About Xylem
Xylem is unique as a global water technology company focused exclusively on solving water challenges through innovative solutions for conservation and reuse, rather than being a general technology or industrial firm. Working here means contributing directly to sustainability and environmental impact in a mission-driven organization that empowers communities worldwide. Their focus on 'empowering innovative water solutions' creates a purpose-driven workplace where marketing efforts directly support critical infrastructure and environmental stewardship.
About This Role
This Campaign Operations Specialist role involves owning the global campaign calendar while planning and optimizing paid campaigns on Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads to drive qualified leads for Xylem's B2B water solutions. The position is impactful because it directly supports lead generation across different regions and verticals while leveraging AI tools to adapt content, making marketing efforts scalable and data-driven for a company addressing global water challenges.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve reviewing Google Ads performance data to optimize targeting for industrial water treatment campaigns, then using AI tools to adapt campaign content for different regional markets while maintaining Xylem's brand voice. You'd likely update the global campaign calendar with asset readiness timelines, create performance dashboards for specific verticals like municipal water systems, and collaborate with regional teams on localization needs for upcoming launches.
