About The Position

The New York Times' Marketing team is looking for a Manager, Event Creative to be the operational engine of the event marketing campaign and production assets.

This is a hybrid role based in our New York headquarters, reporting to the Senior Director, Events, Production, and Operations. You can typically expect to be in the office 3 days per week.
