• Intimately and effectively manage project financials (budgets, cash flows, P&Ls, etc.).

• Work as part of the clients’ creative, strategy, and finance teams to ensure brand consistency, effectiveness, and interest.

• Lead, design, and execute experiential, content production, and program schedules.

• Attend event activations to ensure that we’re delivering on the objectives set forth as part of the program plan (the ability to travel locally, nationally, and internationally is required).

• Support communications with multiple client teams, orchestrating solutions that will meet all of their departmental goals as part of the program.

• Strong and proven skills in managing financial documents (budgets, cash flows, P&Ls, etc.).

• Solid understanding of culture and trends in the automotive, outdoors, action, and power sports.

• Experience producing experiential elements such as giveaways, demos, show formats, and scripts.

• Ability to work well independently and in small or large groups, as well as experience managing direct reports (Account Coordinators, Account Executives, Interns, Freelancers, Tour Staff).

• The ability to multi-task efficiently and wear various hats to support various team/client needs.

• Ability to travel when required, sometimes often and without much notice.

• Excellent familiarization with standard computer applications (PowerPoint, Keynote, Excel, Outlook, Gmail, Slack, Basecamp/Asana, Zoom/Teams, etc.).
