Project Manager (Contract), Partnerships

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

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
