Role: Managing Partner

Location: NYC Metro Area

About the role:

You’ll be the strategic and commercial leader of OLIVER’s North America studio for the client — equally a trusted partner, creative champion, and business operator. You'll set the vision for how the studio delivers value, ensure creative excellence across every touchpoint, and be accountable for the North America P&L (supported by an Account Director). This is a role where client leadership, team development, and operational rigor meet. You'll shape how AI transforms the studio's capabilities, embedding it not as a novelty but as a genuine accelerator of quality, speed, and personalization.

Success means a thriving client relationship built on trust and exceptional work, a motivated and growing team, a commercially healthy studio, and a reputation as a leader in AI-enabled creative delivery.

What you will be doing:

Lead the North America partnership for the client— serve as the senior point of contact, building trust at CMO and VP level and ensuring OLIVER is positioned as an indispensable strategic partner
Be accountable for the North America P&L, overseeing revenue, margin, resourcing, and forecasting with the support of an Account Director and finance partners
Set the creative and strategic standard across integrated campaigns, always‑on content, CRM, social, digital, and brand activity for the client's portfolio of brands.
Guide and develop a team of 20+ creatives and account professionals, fostering a culture of collaboration, craft, and continuous improvement
Identify and activate growth opportunities — new brands, new workstreams, new capabilities — that deepen the partnership and expand the studio's scope
Champion AI integration across the studio, establishing a vision for how generative AI tools enhance creative output, production efficiency, and personalization at scale
Establish AI governance and quality standards, ensuring responsible use with strong human oversight and creative judgment
Partner with the client’s marketing, brand, and procurement teams to align studio priorities with business objectives and campaign calendars.
Translate client challenges into clear briefs and strategic direction that enable the creative team to deliver outstanding work
Report on studio performance — creative quality, operational efficiency, client satisfaction, commercial results — to OLIVER senior leadership
Stay ahead of category, cultural, and platform trends in spirits, lifestyle, and digital marketing to keep the studio's output relevant and distinctive
Represent OLIVER in industry forums and with senior stakeholders, contributing to thought leadership on in-house models, AI, and creative effectiveness

What you need to be great in this role:

A strong track record in senior client leadership — leading large, complex accounts at the intersection of brand, creative, and commercial strategy
Experience overseeing P&L or significant revenue responsibility, with confidence in forecasting, margin management, and commercial negotiation
Proven ability to build and sustain trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders (VP / C-suite level)
Experience leading and developing multidisciplinary teams of 20+, creating environments where people do their best work
Deep understanding of integrated marketing — campaigns, content, CRM, social, digital, brand — and how these connect to deliver business results
A portfolio of work (or leadership of work) that demonstrates creative ambition and strategic rigor
Experience in spirits, FMCG/CPG, or lifestyle categories (valued but not essential)
