Position Summary:

Owns AAA Hoosier's partnership strategy, budget, and results — from national partnerships activated through AAA Inc. to local and community sponsorships. Leads the summer intern program for all of AAA Hoosier.

This is a relationship-driven role: you will source and negotiate new partnerships, serve as the primary point of contact for sponsored organizations and community partners, and own the systems that keep those relationships organized and on track.
