• Manage venue sourcing and sponsorship negotiations for your accounts, owning these relationships from strategy through activation.
• Identify opportunities for organic growth on your accounts and lead internal proposal processes, partnering with senior leadership as needed.
• Build and approve account and program budgets and SOWs; ensure timely, accurate billing and own profitability against BvAs.
• Develop and implement account strategies that drive long-term client growth and retention.
• Serve as a key day-to-day client partner—handling proactive communications and challenging conversations with a calm, solutions-focused approach.
• Mentor and manage Senior Managers, Managers, and Coordinators, fostering team development; capable of onboarding and training junior staff up through the Senior Manager level.
• Ensure seamless communication and alignment between internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Contribute to departmental process improvements that make the team sharper and more efficient.
• Represent RedPeg as a senior leader in client meetings, industry events, and networking opportunities.
• Travel as required to oversee high-profile activations and client engagements, bringing organized, dependable leadership on-site.

What You’re All About

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 7–9+ years of relevant marketing, event, or sponsorship experience, with agency experience preferred.
• Experience leading large-scale, high-profile programs—major sports/entertainment moments, multi-market activations, or complex live event production.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple client accounts and drive strategic, organic growth.
• Experience working with national and multinational brands, ideally on high-profile or global programs.
• Strong leadership and mentorship skills, with a focus on developing the team around you.
