Interim VP, Client Services & Program Delivery

Clear Sky Collective is seeking an experienced client services leader to cover a leave starting in November, initially for a minimum of three months with potential extension. The role carries full ownership of client relationships and program delivery across a portfolio of integrated partnership programs spanning digital media, branded content, social, influencer activations, experiential and custom sponsorships.

The successful candidate will personally manage programs from sales handoff through to wrap-up, while also providing direction and quality oversight to the client services team. This requires strong operational discipline, high emotional intelligence, and the ability to work autonomously within a small, high-standards team.

• Lead post-sale delivery across the full program portfolio, keeping work on schedule and aligned with agreed scopes.
• Serve as the primary client contact for brand and agency partners on assigned programs, maintaining proactive and accurate communication.
• Build and manage timelines, deliverables trackers, asset requests, approvals and status updates with clear ownership.
• Coordinate internal teams, freelancers and execution partners to ensure clarity on priorities and deadlines.
• Identify delivery risks early and drive solutions when assets, approvals or priorities shift.
• Manage scope changes and flag resource or budget challenges before they become issues.

• Significant experience in client services, account management or program delivery, preferably within a publisher or agency environment.
• Strong background in digital media and branded content, including custom advertising and sponsorship programs across multiple formats.
• Familiarity with branded articles, video production, social and influencer programs, and experiential activations.
• Exceptional client management skills with high emotional intelligence and confidence navigating multi-stakeholder relationships.
• Proven ability to work autonomously, make sound decisions and move work forward without close direction.
• Availability for at least three months beginning in November, with flexibility to extend to a fourth month.
