Grant of authority for signing is not ideal for marketing purchases
The signing authority matrix currently requires executive approval for purchases above $5k, and CEO approval for purchases of $10k. For a department with frequent OPEX expenditure like marketing, this is a lot of process overhead. Consider that most national tradeshow sponsorships are over $10k, most advertising insertion orders are over $10k, even large swag purchases can run over $10k (and that requires click-thru agreement of terms). As we grow and scale, we will increase our discretionary spend in marketing, so it would be more efficient to update our signing authority matrix to give more authority to marketing directors and CMO on approvals.
