Serve as the primary day‑to‑day contact for OEM marketing and agency partners. Keep programs healthy: monitor performance against contracted deliverables, flag issues early, and coordinate with product, operations, and ad ops to resolve them before they become client problems. Translate strategy into action: ensure the strategy executes cleanly, on time, on spec, and with data to back it up. Revenue Support & Growth Support business development: assist in pitch preparation, proposal development, and renewal conversations. Identify expansion opportunities: surface opportunities to deepen programs, add placements, or extend contract scope within existing partner relationships and present them with a clear rationale. Track and report performance: own the reporting cadence for active programs and build the data story that makes renewal conversations straightforward. Internal Coordination Bridge to Product and Operations: advocate for OEM partners’ roadmap requests or execution dependencies, working with product and operations teams to prioritize and deliver. Keep leadership informed: surface blockers, risks, and wins on a regular cadence to avoid surprises. Qualifications OEM or automotive marketing background: understanding of OEM marketing team structures, budget flows, and decision‑making processes. Digital advertising fluency: familiarity with CPM, CTR, viewability, and IVT, and ability to explain performance data to clients. Execution track record: proven ability to run programs with real deadlines, deliverables, and accountability. Organized and proactive: manage multiple programs simultaneously while surfacing issues before escalation. Clear communicator: provide written and verbal updates, client‑facing recaps, internal status updates, and renewal proposals tailored to audiences. Collaborative by default: build strong internal relationships and enable outcomes with teams you do not manage.
