Regional Event Sales and Brand Activations Manager

Regional Event Sales and Brand Activations Manager, New York Markets

Department: Marketing

Reporting to: Director of Marketing, New York Markets

Location: New York (on-site across Time Out Market DUMBO and Time Out Market Union Square)

Salary: $100,000 per annum (existing position, expanded scope)

We love what we do, and it shows. Time Out Market is the division of Time Out that brings our food and cultural experiences to life for our guests, readers and clients.

This role combines two distinct revenue streams into a single regional position: event sales (private hire, corporate buyouts, ticketed events) and brand activations (liquor partnerships, sponsorship-led events, beverage and lifestyle brand collaborations). The role works across both Time Out Market DUMBO and Time Out Market Union Square.

The role reports hard line to the Director of Marketing, New York Markets, who owns the integrated commercial marketing strategy across both sites including the brand activations and sponsorship programme. A strong dotted line to both site General Managers ensures operational coordination on event sales delivery and commercial alignment with site trading.

This is an expansion of the existing Regional Event Sales Manager role. The event sales scope is unchanged. The brand activations scope is new and reflects the commercial opportunity to convert relationships with liquor, beverage and lifestyle brands into incremental site revenue through sponsorship, hosted events and themed activations. The role works in close partnership with the Marketing Operations and Activations Manager, who owns the day-to-day execution of activations across both sites.
