Marketing & Sponsorship Manager
About the Role
This is not a traditional sales position.
The Marketing & Sponsorship Manager is a strategic relationship-builder who blends marketing insight, partnership development, experiential thinking, and revenue strategy. You will connect brands to place — creating meaningful collaborations that enhance the guest experience while driving sustainable revenue.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives on creativity, connection, and collaboration. You’ll work closely with internal marketing teams, tenants, community partners, and regional/national brands to bring thoughtful, high-impact sponsorships and activations to life. You are not just “selling space” — you are shaping experiences.
The Opportunity
This is an ideal opportunity for a marketing-minded professional who enjoys autonomy, values collaboration, and wants to build meaningful partnerships that enhance community-centered destinations. If you are energized by branding, connection, and bringing ideas to life in visible, high-impact spaces, we would love to speak with you.
