SUMMARY

MARA is seeking an experienced execution leader to own and lead the implementation of the 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) framework across the company , starting with the People organization and expanding to leaders and leaders-of-leaders enterprise-wide.

This role is not a traditional project manager .

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience leading a 4DX rollout at a prior organization , has coached senior leaders through adoption challenges, and knows how to drive execution through influence, credibility, and behavioral change—not authority alone.
