Position Overview:
CFMA is seeking a Partner Relationship Manager to join our Member Engagement team.

The Relationship Manager serves as a strategic partner to advertisers, sponsors, and internal stakeholders, ensuring alignment, engagement, and long-term success across CFMA’s platforms and programs.

Reporting to the VP of Member Engagement, this role requires strong communication skills, professional maturity, and the ability to manage multiple partner relationships with care, consistency, and strategic insight.
