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) 
  • Sharp commercial instincts — able to spot growth opportunities and build compelling cases for expanded scope 
  • The ability to simplify complexity, align diverse stakeholders, and make decisions with clarity and accountability 
  • AI fluency: deep, hands-on familiarity with generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Runway, Adobe Firefly) and a clear point of view on how they reshape creative and production workflows 
  • AI strategy and vision: ability to set the direction for AI adoption across a studio — defining where AI adds value, where human creativity leads, and how to govern quality 
  • Agentic leadership: a systematic, goal-oriented approach to complex business challenges — breaking them into components, identifying the best path forward, and executing with adaptability 
  • AI capability building: experience developing AI literacy and confidence across teams, establishing best practices and responsible use standards 
  • Thought leadership: a credible, informed voice on AI's role in creative industries, able to represent OLIVER's perspective to clients and the wider market 
  • At the time of this posting, the base salary for this position may range from $212,500.00 to $237,500.00. Individual compensation varies based on job related factors, including location, business needs, level of responsibility, experience, and qualifications. The range listed is just one component of OLIVER’s total compensation package.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
