Sr. Manager, Integrated Planning

Chamberlain Group · Oak Brook, IL · 3 wk ago
Management$130k–$209k/yrFull-time

Responsibilities

  • Own and maintain the annual and 120-day integrated marketing calendar as the single source of truth for tentpole moments, seasonal campaigns, and product launches
  • 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
  • Motivate and lead a high performance team by attracting, developing, engaging and retaining team members
  • Drive the performance management and compensation processes by communicating job expectations, monitoring and evaluating performance, providing feedback and facilitating employee development per the company’s policies
  • Maintain transparent communication by appropriately communicating organization information to team through department meetings, one-on-one meetings, appropriate email, IM and regular interpersonal communications
  • Lead and motivate individuals and teams to create a workplace culture that is consistent with the CG mission, vision and values

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree required, ideally in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field
  • Certifications or continuing education in project/program management (e.g., PMP, agile marketing) are a plus
  • 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
