Own the Internal Marketing Experience Drive internal communications, recognition programs, and culture-forward initiatives that support engagement and retention. Ensure brand consistency and clarity across company announcements, messaging, presentations, and events. Help shape how Sprague shows up—internally first, externally second.

Oversee company events (internal meetings, customer events, industry engagement) from concept to execution. Partner on RFPs, presentations, and select sales initiatives to support growth and positioning.
