Brand Activation Manager - Chicago, IL

We’re currently on the hunt for an energized, smart, well-organized, and motivated operations professional to join our Ops Team as a City Manager (on-site position). This role plays a key part in managing our flyer and door hanger distribution operations in residential areas of Chicago, but we’re not just looking for someone to manage logistics. We want someone who can drive results.

If you're ambitious, passionate about field marketing, and ready to bring a strategic sales mindset to operations, this is your moment.

Location: On-site in Chicago,IL
Full-time: 40 hours per week
Expected start: First or second week of September
Contract Type: Fixed 6-week contract with potential for renewal or full-time hire
Salary: $1,000 USD weekly + performance commissions up to $250/week (paid weekly)

As a City Manager, you’ll be the link between our brand, the field team, and results. You’ll manage operations and help train Brand Ambassadors to think like sellers – ensuring that flyers and door hangers aren’t just distributed, but converted into customers.

• Lead, support, and motivate a team of Brand Ambassadors in the field
• Monitor performance and coach the team with a sales-driven approach
• Provide live, real-time support and take on-the-spot decisions to ensure operational excellence
• Strategically canvas residential neighborhoods to ensure maximum reach

• Use data and field insights to maximize flyer conversion rates
• Identify and test optimal residential areas for distribution
• Align operations with customer acquisition goals

• Train and inspire Brand Ambassadors to think like salespeople, not just distributors
• Deliver quick, high-impact coaching sessions on engagement strategies
• Reinforce key messaging and behaviors to boost conversions

• Draft weekly rosters for Brand Ambassadors based on performance and local insights
• Analyze flyer distribution data using Google Sheets
• Map and evaluate residential zones for reach and impact

• Manage flyer inventory, uniforms, and tools via the Oppizi platform
• Work across locations – from our local storage to residential neighborhoods – with some remote planning and reporting

At Oppizi, we’re redefining what offline marketing can do. In a world glued to screens, we help brands like UberEats cut through the noise by turning simple flyer drops into high-converting campaigns. It’s not just distribution – it’s performance-driven street marketing.

We’re not looking for someone to just manage a field team – we’re looking for someone to lead it toward measurable success. If you’re a strategic thinker with hustle and heart, let’s talk.
