Director of Marketing, Strategy & Performance
Traders Village
Traders Village is seeking a Director of Marketing, Strategy & Performance to lead enterprise marketing strategy, agency management, brand standards, performance reporting, and cross-market coordination across our locations.
This role is responsible for driving attendance, traffic, customer engagement, vendor participation, and revenue through coordinated marketing strategy, events, promotions, and operationally aligned execution.
You will partner closely with the President, General Managers, agency partners, and market-level marketing teams to help shape large-scale public experiences that people actually attend — not just scroll past.
This is not a remote role. This is not a purely digital marketing role.
We are looking for someone who understands live operations, experiential marketing, customer behavior, vendor engagement, public-facing events, and how marketing translates into real-world traffic, energy, dwell time, and revenue.
What You’ll Do
Traders Village operates large-scale marketplace and entertainment destinations combining shopping, food, rides, festivals, concerts, and community events into a unique customer experience serving hundreds of thousands of guests annually.
If you enjoy fast-moving, customer-facing environments and want to help create experiences people remember long after the weekend is over, we’d like to hear from you.
