Co-manage relationships with external business/brand partners alongside internal stakeholders.
Cultivate strong relationships across brand, media, sports & entertainment, and talent & content teams to drive alignment and deliver integrated campaigns.
Stay ahead of industry trends and maintain a deep understanding of the competitive card space — particularly premium travel, with strong fluency in music, fashion, lifestyle, and sports culture.
Operate effectively in a highly matrixed organization, managing multiple concurrent projects with different timelines and budgets.
