Direct message the job poster from Revel Puck Circus The Role We aren’t looking for a traditional corporate marketer or a "No, because..." personality. We need a creative strategist and a "Yes, and..." thinker who understands how to build a brand that people want to join, not just watch. As our Senior Marketing & Communications Manager, you’ll own the strategy that fills our seats and tells our story. You will be responsible for the high-level planning that drives our audience development, while also managing the day-to-day delivery of campaigns, press, and brand partnerships. With us, one day you will be at the table with the AD/CEO and Executive Producer shaping the future of the company; the next, you’ll all be out together in a new tour location ensuring that hundreds of posters are exactly where they need to be. We need someone who is as comfortable with a spreadsheet as they are with a staple gun. Responsibilities 1.
