Activation Manager information

What is an activation manager?

Activation Managers are professionals responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing marketing campaigns or brand activations. They work closely with clients, creative teams, and vendors to ensure that marketing initiatives are delivered effectively and on time. Their role often includes developing strategies to engage target audiences, managing budgets, analyzing campaign performance, and optimizing future activations. Activation Managers play a key part in bringing brands to life through memorable experiences and ensuring that marketing goals are met.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be an activation manager?

To thrive as an Activation Manager, you need expertise in project management, marketing strategy, and event execution, often backed by a degree in marketing or business. Familiarity with CRM platforms, digital marketing tools, and analytics systems like Salesforce or HubSpot is typically required. Strong organizational skills, creativity, and effective communication help drive cross-functional collaboration and deliver impactful campaigns. These abilities are crucial for ensuring seamless campaign rollouts that meet client objectives and maximize brand engagement.

What challenges do activation managers face when launching new campaigns?

Activation Managers often encounter challenges such as aligning cross-functional teams, managing tight deadlines, and ensuring campaigns resonate with the target audience. Coordinating between creative, sales, and digital teams requires strong communication and organizational skills.

Successfully navigating these challenges allows Activation Managers to execute impactful campaigns and demonstrate their value to both clients and internal stakeholders.

Job description

HubSpot Activation Manager
Remote | Full-Time

Instrumental is seeking a HubSpot Activation Manager to help our clients successfully adopt and maximize their investment in HubSpot. If you're passionate about helping teams succeed with powerful tools like Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, and Service Hub, and you love rolling up your sleeves to make that happen, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

As a HubSpot Activation Manager, you’ll own the successful activation, adoption, and practical operationalization of HubSpot for Instrumental clients. Your mission? To ensure each client’s portal, processes, and team habits are aligned to business outcomes, scalable workflows, and long-term platform value. This is a role that turns HubSpot from software into operational momentum.
You’ll:

  • Lead activation engagements for HubSpot Marketing, Sales, and Service Hubs to drive long-term platform adoption.
     
  • Tailor activation plans based on business objectives, tech stack, and goals.
     
  • Identify and recommend where AI tools and automation may improve speed, consistency, and clarity.
     
  • Advise clients on best practices, strategic use cases, and scalable systems.
     
  • Monitor user performance, adoption trends, and configuration quality.
     
  • Deliver expert training and coaching directly in the platform.
     
  • Guide clients toward expansion opportunities and long-term success with HubSpot.
     
  • Stay up to date on the latest HubSpot features, AI tools, and productivity accelerators.
What We're Looking For

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just use HubSpot, you love it. You’re comfortable advising executive stakeholders, training hands-on users, and tackling complex configurations. The ideal candidate will have:

  • 4–8 years of hands-on HubSpot experience (Marketing, Sales, and Service Hubs).

  • Proven ability to manage multiple client relationships and deliverables simultaneously.

  • Excellent communication skills — written, verbal, and client-facing.

  • A strong background in digital marketing, marketing ops, or rev ops.

  • Experience training teams and driving user adoption.

  • A love for problem-solving and a bias for action.

  • The ability to self-manage, prioritize effectively, and work autonomously.

  • A passion for helping others achieve their goals and grow their skills.

What We Offer

We take care of our people with a benefits package designed to support your health, growth, and well-being:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • Short- and long-term disability

  • Accident insurance

  • 401(k) retirement plan

  • 15 paid holidays + generous PTO

  • Quarterly incentive plan

  • A close-knit, high-performing team that truly cares

Why Instrumental?

Award-Winning Culture
Proudly recognized on Inc.’s Best in Culture 2024! Join a team that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous growth.

Supportive, Collaborative Environment
We’re a people-first company that promotes learning, respect, and camaraderie. You'll never go it alone here — we succeed together.

Ready to help our clients transform the way they work with HubSpot?
We’d love to hear from you.
