Agency & Vendor Management
- Brief, select, and manage creative, event production, and experiential agencies; build a high-performing agency roster with clear scopes, SLAs, and evaluation frameworks.
- Own event budgets, contracts, timelines, and on-site quality control; negotiate for maximum value while protecting brand standards and safety/compliance requirements.
Communication & Stakeholder Management
