Temp Senior Manager, Brand Partnerships

Overview

Do you get unreasonably excited when a brand partnership actually makes sense? Do you live for the moment a cultural activation comes together flawlessly – even when the timeline was, let s say, ambitious? Are you the person who somehow manages 12 projects simultaneously and still has opinions about the merch? If yes, keep reading. We might be your people.

You ll own brand partnerships and experiential activations from the "what if we..." idea phase all the way through the "we actually pulled that off" recap deck. That means pitching external brand partners, wrangling agencies, protecting the IP, keeping Legal in the loop, and making sure every activation feels culturally right – not just logistically done. Oh, and you ll be doing all of this across multiple projects at once, because one campaign at a time is simply not our vibe.

• Lead brand partnerships and consumer activations tied to our TV & streaming priorities – from concept to confetti
• Identify, pitch, and lock in external brand partners (value-exchange, not paid sponsor ships – we re about mutual cool)
• Own budgets, timelines, and deliverables – and be the calm one in the room when things shift
• Partner closely with Legal, Business Affairs, internal teams, agencies, and external stakeholders (you are basically the glue)
• Bring the creative ideas that make audiences stop scrolling and actually tune in
• Present polished recaps and updates to senior leadership (no rambling – punchy, clear, compelling)

• You have 7+ years in brand partnerships, experiential, or consumer events (entertainment background a plus, but not a deal breaker)
• You ve run value-exchange / in-kind partnerships and know the difference between that and ad sales
• Your project management skills are legitimately impressive (and your spreadsheets are a thing of beauty)
• Pop culture isn t just a section of your morning newsletter – it s kind of your whole personality
• You thrive in a small, collaborative team where everyone rolls up their sleeves
• Nights, weekends, and the occasional event-week chaos don t scare you – you ve been there

• Your background is primarily ad sales or sponsorship sales – this role is a different animal

• Microsoft Office, Excel, PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva – plus a BA/BS degree and an overdeveloped sense of what s culturally relevant.
