Position Overview

The Senior Manager, Integrated Marketing Custom Solutions will lead the development and delivery of integrated advertising programs across Active Interest Media's portfolio. This hands-on role works closely with Sales, Editorial, Ad Operations and other internal teams to turn editorial initiatives, audience opportunities and client objectives into compelling, executable advertising solutions.

The Senior Manager will directly manage the team responsible for custom campaign delivery, oversee outside resources including AIM's custom video consultant, and ensure programs move successfully from concept through execution and final delivery. This role will also support the commercialization and go-to-market strategy for editorial and advertising opportunities and partner directly with Sales on custom client solutions.

Integrated Marketing, Custom Solutions Go-to-Market

• Partner with Sales to develop creative, executable custom and integrated advertising programs across print, digital, content, video, email, social, events and other AIM platforms.

• Support the development and packaging of new advertising products and custom offerings, translating ideas into clear value propositions and market-ready programs.

Campaign Delivery Team Leadership

• Own successful campaign delivery from post-sale handoff through completion, ensuring scopes, timelines, responsibilities, approvals and deliverables are clearly defined and tracked.

• Work closely with Ad Operations and other internal teams to ensure all extensions and contracted components of custom campaigns are properly handed off, launched and delivered.

• Maintain visibility into team workload and campaign status, proactively identifying and resolving delivery risks, missing assets, scope issues and cross-functional dependencies.

• Oversee campaign reporting and performance measurement, ensuring results and insights are effectively communicated and used to inform future programs.

• Manage and coach the Client Services team responsible for day-to-day execution of custom and integrated marketing programs, including sponsored content, video, webinars, events, social media and other campaign elements.

Video, Production External Resources

• Oversee AIM's custom video program and manage the outside video consultant, maintaining visibility into project scope, schedules, client approvals and final delivery.

• Manage additional freelancers, vendors and creative resources as needed, including scopes, budgets, timelines, review cycles and quality expectations.

• Provide creative direction and quality oversight for custom programs and client facing materials, working with appropriate design and production resources.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in integrated marketing, custom solutions, branded content, digital advertising, campaign management or related media marketing roles; publishing or media experience strongly preferred.

• Prior experience managing employees, projects and cross-functional workflows. • Demonstrated experience developing and executing integrated advertiser programs across multiple platforms.

• Strong project-management skills and ability to manage multiple campaigns, priorities and deadlines simultaneously.

• Strong commercial instincts and experience partnering directly with sales teams and clients.

What It Takes to Succeed

The successful candidate is a hands-on manager who is equally comfortable developing a custom campaign concept with Sales, helping a team member solve a delivery problem, and following a program across departments to ensure every client commitment is completed.

This person creates structure in a fast-moving environment, communicates clearly, anticipates problems before they become escalations and takes ownership through completion. They have strong creative judgment without needing to be the designer, understand how advertisers use integrated media programs, and can move easily between strategy and execution.

Most importantly, they see the whole campaign. Success means ensuring that ideas become sellable programs, sold programs become executable plans, and every component is ultimately delivered accurately and on time.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary + team performance incentives.

• Full benefits package (health, dental, vision, 401k).

• Opportunity to shape sales strategy and lead by example.

• A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture where results are rewarded.

• This role is a remote opportunity.
