Vaco by Highspring - Temp Marketing Manager

Marketing Consultant is needed in Burbank, United States.

Client: Vaco by Highspring

Location: Burbank, CA

Contract: Temporary

Job Description

Do you get unreasonably excited when a brand partnership actually makes sense? Do you live for the moment a cultural activation comes together flawlessly, even under tight timelines? Are you the person who can manage 12 projects simultaneously and still has opinions about the merch?

If yes, keep reading. You’ll own brand partnerships and experiential activations from the “what if we…” idea phase all the way through the “we actually pulled that off” recap deck. This means pitching external brand partners, managing agencies, protecting the IP, keeping Legal informed, and ensuring every activation feels culturally right—not just logistically done.

You’ll be managing multiple projects at once, which is the standard practice for our team.

The highlights of your responsibilities include leading brand partnerships and consumer activations, identifying and locking in external brand partners, owning budgets and timelines, collaborating with various internal & external teams, bringing creative ideas to audiences, and presenting polished updates to senior leadership.

THIS IS A TEMP ASSIGNMENT COVERING A MEDICAL LEAVE – IN OFFICE Mon – Fri in BURBANK.

Requirements

You might be our person if…

• You have 7+ years in brand partnerships, experiential, or consumer events (entertainment background a plus, but not a dealbreaker).
• You’ve run value-exchange / in-kind partnerships and know the difference between that and ad sales.
• Your project management skills are impressive (and your spreadsheets are a thing of beauty).
• Pop culture is a significant part of your life.
• You thrive in a collaborative team environment.
• You’re not afraid of nights, weekends, and the occasional event-week chaos.

Not a fit? No hard feelings if…

• Your background is primarily in ad sales or sponsorship sales, as this role differs significantly.

Additional Information

The toolkit:

• Microsoft Office, Excel, PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva.

Education:

• BA/BS degree and an overdeveloped sense of what’s culturally relevant.

Compensation: $65-70/hr
