Partner Account Manager
Own the execution behind Prep Network’s brand partnerships.
What You’ll Do
You will own the execution and delivery of our brand partnerships once a deal is signed, coordinating campaigns across content, creative, events, marketing, and ad operations to ensure every deliverable is executed accurately, on time, and exactly as promised. As the primary post-sale point of contact for partners during campaign execution, you’ll provide proactive updates, manage timelines and assets, and ensure expectations are consistently met or exceeded.
From kickoff through final reporting, you’ll keep campaigns organized, moving forward, and aligned across teams. You’ll also develop clear post-campaign reports and recaps that demonstrate results, delivered value, and key insights, helping partners understand the impact of their investment while surfacing opportunities for renewals and future growth.
If you thrive on ownership and follow-through, you’ll be great at organizing moving pieces, keeping projects on track, and ensuring partner commitments are delivered exactly as promised. You communicate clearly, stay calm when timelines tighten, and take pride in solving problems before they become issues. If you're looking for the chance to work across teams, build strong relationships, and turn complex logistics into smooth execution, you'll be a great fit for this role.
