- Own the shared activation roadmap, timelines, and approvals process across both organizations.
- Coordinate rights inventory planning and utilization (e.g., player/talent access, creative usage, matchday assets, content moments, community initiatives) to ensure we’re maximizing the partnership.
- Ensure deliverables are executed against contractual expectations and that both sides are clear on responsibilities, deadlines, and escalation paths.
- Develop joint go-to-market style plans with Crystal Palace stakeholders where relevant (co-marketing moments, community programs, partner/customer experiences)
- ensuring Temporal’s brand and audience stay at the center.
- Design and deliver standout experiential activations in partnership with Crystal Palace (matchday moments, community programs, content-led experiences, partner/customer moments).
- Lead field marketing + hospitality planning and execution (hosted events, executive/customer hosting, curated experiences) with strong operational rigor.
- Build and manage the seasonal activation calendar (pre-season, in-season tentpoles, key fixtures, transfer windows, playoffs/cups, etc.).
- Coordinate cross-functionally to ensure activations are “fully integrated” (content, PR, paid, email, social, SDR follow-up, partner channels).
- Manage agency and vendor partners (experiential, creative production, event vendors, merchandise, venues) and ensure high-quality execution.
- Track performance and report outcomes with a strong measurement approach (attribution where possible; directional influence where not).
