THE ROLE 

We're looking for a Partner Marketing Manager to own the development and delivery of strategic marketing plans across a portfolio of TTC Tour Brands' national and strategic partner accounts. Reporting to the Partner Marketing Director and leading a Partner Marketing Specialist, you'll act as the marketing lead for your portfolio, translating commercial priorities into integrated B2B and B2B2C strategies that drive bookings, revenue, partner engagement and measurable return on investment. 

With accountability across partner planning, marketing investment, campaign performance and stakeholder relationships, you will use data and commercial insight to prioritize opportunities, optimize activity and recommend where partner marketing resources will deliver the greatest value. 

You'll combine strategic ownership with hands on campaign leadership and strong financial management, including forecasting, invoicing and spend tracking, while partnering closely with Sales, Brand, CRM and Creative teams to deliver high impact programs. 

This is a great opportunity for a commercially minded marketer who thrives on data driven decision making and building trusted partner relationships.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

  • Own the development and delivery of annual and quarterly marketing plans for your assigned partner portfolio, aligning activity to commercial objectives and sales priorities.
  • Serve as the primary marketing lead for assigned partners, building trusted relationships with internal Sales leaders and external partner stakeholders.
  • Be responsible for commercial performance and optimization - establishing clear KPIs for partner campaigns and analyzing performance to identify opportunities, underperformance and trends.
  • Manage day to day budgets, invoice processing, reconciliation and co-op commitments, proactively flagging risks or variances.
  • Lead the development, launch and optimization of integrated campaigns across digital, email, print and advisor facing channels.
  • Delegate execution to your Partner Marketing Specialist while maintaining accountability for quality, budget and performance.
  • Partner and lead cross functionally, acting as a trusted advisor to Sales and partner stakeholders, representing TTC in business reviews and partner meetings.
  • Manage and develop your Specialist, setting clear priorities and supporting their professional growth.
  • Identify opportunities to improve partner marketing processes and adopt AI powered tools to strengthen team productivity.
