  • Partner with internal cross-functional stakeholders to ensure flawless execution
  • Support post-launch account and partner management to support strong ongoing relationships, including business reviews and planning

What You'll Need to Have :

Required :

  • Ability to both "sell" to potential partners and negotiate effectively, thinking quickly on your feet
  • Strong business acumen and data analytics capabilities
  • Must be a poised, professional communicator
  • Extremely detail-oriented
  • Experience leading high stakes marketing projects as a mid-level member of a management consulting firm, or have comparable years of experience in industry focused on cross-brand partnerships, licensing, and / or sales
  • Must possess strong leadership experience or demonstrate clear leadership potential
  • Experience building clear, high impact materials (i.e. presentations)

Preferred :

  • Familiarity and comfort with partnership and licensing contracts
  • Ideally you have some experience as a creative, or deep knowledge of the creative design process

Compensation :

  • $100,000 - $120,000 per year base salary
  • An annual bonus percentage that varies based on level of role
  • Employer matching (up to 3% of base salary) for company sponsored 401K plan
