Project Manager (Contract), Partnerships

What you'll do:

• Own the post-sale kick-off process — lead the internal handover with Sales, build the internal kick-off deck, and run the external client kick-off call

• Set up and maintain the campaign’s project plan, internal Slack channel, and stakeholder workflows from day one

• Build the campaign budget in the Budget Tracker, drive sign-off with Finance, and stay accountable for tracking allocated costs, active projections, and final actuals

• Approve all expenses and manage vendor invoicing through to final reconciliation

• Deliver and track performance against the internal media plan — paid and organic across YouTube and Meta

• Working with our Head of Content, ensure seamless content delivery across the full campaign arc: pre-show ticket promotion and local posts, live show-day capture, and post-show recap videos, performance edits, and reporting

• Work with our local teams to book and contract venue, artist, production and events staff

• Act as the day-to-day project lead for the client — setting communication norms, managing approval cycles, and keeping everyone aligned on timeline and milestones

• Deliver the final campaign wrap in collaboration with Sales lead: content recap, dashboard, and metrics reporting against KPIs

• Bring operational rigor and a calm hand to a fast-moving cross-functional team — holding Sales, Finance, local teams, marketing, and creative accountable

Who you are:

• You have 3–7+ years of project or program management experience — ideally in branded events, experiential marketing, music, agency-side production, or partnerships delivery

• You’ve owned campaigns end-to-end before, from contract signature through final wrap report, and you’re comfortable being the single point of accountability for delivery

• You’re financially fluent — you can build and manage a campaign budget, track projections vs. actuals, and partner cleanly with a Finance team for sign-off

• You understand how paid and organic media plans come together — platforms, impressions, CPV, added-value items — and you can track delivery against committed numbers

• You’ve produced live events (music a plus, but not required) and know what it takes to make show day go smoothly — venue, artist, crew, MC, run of show, contracts, briefs

• You work fluently in Google Workspace, and Slack, and you instinctively reach for clarity when things get ambiguous

• You’re an excellent client-facing communicator — you can lead a kick-off, hold a hard line on scope, and present a wrap report with equal confidence

• You’re comfortable managing multiple workstreams in parallel and partnering with creative, marketing, finance, and local operations teams simultaneously

• You’re available for contract work and energized by a flexible, project-based engagement model — we may staff you on a single campaign or several, depending on your bandwidth

• You have working knowledge of the US live events, brand partnership, and experiential landscape
