Program Manager, Sponsorships

The Program Manager, Sponsorships, independently manages assigned sponsorships from proposal development through post-sale handoff, launch, ongoing delivery, reporting, and completion. This role sits at the forefront of one of the fastest-growing areas of digital marketing, AI, and LLM visibility, helping Money Group develop the operational frameworks, reporting methodologies, and best practices that support brands across AI-powered search. Working closely with internal teams, partners, agencies, and advertisers, the Program Manager helps shape bespoke, accurately scoped sponsorships and identifies opportunities to strengthen client relationships, drive renewals, and support long-term revenue growth.

• Serve as a day-to-day contact for assigned advertisers, agencies, publisher partners, and internal teams, building trusted relationships through clear communication and reliable follow-through.
• Provide regular project updates, proactively resolve execution challenges, and escalate material risks, scope changes, or decisions when appropriate.
• Partner with the Sponsorship Project and Reporting Associate to validate campaign reporting and translate traditional KPIs, AI, and LLM visibility metrics, and partner feedback into clear insights and recommendations.
• Identify potential upsell, expansion, and renewal opportunities and share recommendations with Sales and Sponsorship leadership.
• Improve sponsorship operations by strengthening workflows, documentation, quality assurance, reporting visibility, automation, and repeatable processes.
• Identify sponsorship-related technical, tracking, reporting, dashboard, and product needs and collaborate with relevant stakeholders to coordinate solutions.
• Contribute ideas for sponsorship products, publisher opportunities, and execution models that support client value, revenue growth, and profitability.
