• Own the full client lifecycle from RFP response and pitch development through program activation, optimization, and renewal
• Serve as the senior client lead and primary point of accountability across both commercial and execution conversations
• Operate at the intersection of Sales, Editorial, Brand Marketing, Creative, Strategy, and Production: translating client briefs into sold-in programs and sold-in programs into flawlessly executed activations
• Build and steward senior relationships across the client's brand portfolio, including brand leads, global media and content teams, and agency partners

• Serve as a single, consistent point of contact across the lifecycle
• Lead pitches, kickoffs, weekly status governance, executive check-ins, and post-campaign reviews

• Own client satisfaction as a measurable outcome: including renewal, organic growth, and reference-ability across the client's brand houses

• Proven ability to operate across the full client lifecycle — pre-sale through post-sale
