Responsibilities

- Run the planning cadence and executive stage-gate process, keeping the calendar realistic, current, and visible to every channel team and BU
- Flag conflicts, sequencing risks, and resourcing gaps early, and broker trade-offs across channel owners and BUs
- Lead integrated campaign development for hero programs — Prime Day Big Deal Days, CES, and other tentpole and seasonal moments — from brief through execution
- Write and socialize the campaign brief for each tentpole moment: objective, audience, narrative, channel roles, timeline, and success metrics
- Direct sponsorship, experiential, and event activation strategy (including on-site presence at CES) where it advances brand and demand goals
- Abide by brand standards and channel guidelines when activating across the portfolio
- Coordinate paid media, social/influencer, SEO/owned content, and CRM/lifecycle activity around each tentpole moment so the customer experiences one connected story, not disconnected channel campaigns
- Partner with Comms & Content to align earned media and PR moments to the same calendar and narrative
- Manage the tentpole and brand activation budget, including day-to-day management of event, production, and experiential agency partners
- Hold vendor and agency partners accountable to timeline, budget, and quality standards
- Define success metrics for each tentpole moment up front, tied to subscriber acquisition and pipeline contribution, not just reach or impressions
- Deliver post-campaign readouts that quantify performance and translate learnings into the next planning cycle
- Keep the Sr. Director and channel-owning peers informed with clear, concise calendar and campaign status updates
- Comply with health and safety guidelines and rules; managers should also ensure compliance across their teams
- Protect Chamberlain Group’s reputation by keeping information confidential.
- Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reading professional publications, establishing personal networks, and participating in professional societies
- Contribute to the team effort by accomplishing related results and participating on projects as needed

Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree required, ideally in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field

- 6+ years of progressive marketing experience, including direct ownership of integrated campaign planning, brand activation, or event/experiential marketing
- Track record of leading tentpole or hero campaigns end-to-end — brief, cross-functional coordination, execution, and readout — in a multi-channel environment
- Experience coordinating (not necessarily owning) paid media, social, SEO/content, and CRM/lifecycle teams around a shared campaign calendar
- Experience managing event, production, or experiential agency partners, including budget and timeline accountability
- Experience in a multi-brand, multi-BU, or B2B/B2C portfolio is a plus, given the scope across MyQ, LiftMaster, and Chamberlain
- Excellent integrator and project manager — comfortable being the person who holds the calendar and the room, even without direct authority over channel budgets or teams
- Strong written communicator; writes clear campaign briefs and post-campaign readouts that others can act on
- Commercially minded — evaluates brand and tentpole investment against acquisition and pipeline outcomes, not just reach
- Comfortable managing multiple workstreams, vendors, and stakeholders at once without losing sight of deadlines
- Confident and calm under the pressure of live events and hard launch dates
