Position Summary: The Marketing Manager, Tap Rooms leads the marketing strategy and execution for Tilray Beverages’ portfolio of tap rooms and brewpubs. Reporting to Jeff Evans, VP of US Retail, this role is responsible for driving guest traffic, dwell time, repeat visitation, and revenue across our tap room footprint through a compelling calendar of localized programming, digital and social marketing, events, partnerships, and on-brand guest experiences. The Marketing Manager serves as the connective tissue between the central brand and marketing teams and the on-the-ground tap room teams — translating national brand strategy into locally relevant, high-energy consumer touchpoints that build community and grow the business. The role partners closely with the Digital & Social, Creative, Brand, and Customer Marketing teams, as well as individual tap room managers, to plan, launch, and measure programs that make our tap rooms the destination of choice in every market we operate.

- Build scalable programming frameworks and playbooks that individual tap room teams can localize and execute consistently across markets.

- Lead marketing for new tap room openings, including launch playbooks, grand-opening activations, and local awareness campaigns.
- Develop and manage local community and partnership marketing (food trucks, local vendors, sponsorships, charity nights, merchant/association partnerships) to embed each tap room in its community.
- Coordinate with Brand Managers to activate national brand moments and product launches at the tap room level.
- Partner with Customer Marketing on branded merchandise, POS, and retail assets tailored to the tap room environment.
- Manage the tap room marketing budget: planning, allocation, PO/invoicing, vendor management, and ROI tracking.
- Analyze performance across traffic, revenue, events, and digital engagement; deliver regular reporting, event recaps, and quarterly business reviews to leadership.
- Serve as the primary marketing liaison between the tap room / retail organization and the central marketing function, sharing best practices across sites.

- Creative programming mindset — able to build and sustain a vibrant, revenue-driving events and promotions calendar.
- Strong grasp of local, field, and experiential marketing; able to translate national brand strategy into locally relevant activations.
