The Tab Group is hiring a Brand Partnerships Manager to help us connect some of the world’s biggest brands with millions of students and young people across the UK and US.
This is a rare build-it-from-the-ground-up role: Own the commercial proposition early, close the deals yourself, and grow your remit and team as the business grows.
The Tab Group is the youth and student arm of Digitalbox, alongside Reality Shrine and Film Shrine. We reach huge audiences through student culture, reality TV and film, creating content that speaks directly to young people.
We’re looking for someone entrepreneurial who is excited by building rather than inheriting. You’ll take a differentiated proposition to market, shape how we sell and create partnerships that genuinely connect brands with Gen Z audiences.
What you’ll be doing:
- Owning the full sales cycle: Prospecting, pitching, negotiating and closing direct brand and agency partnerships
- Building relationships with brands and media agencies across the student and youth space
- Working towards revenue targets
- Helping to shape our commercial offering, including pricing, packaging and how we take partnerships to market
- Selling integrated campaigns across branded written content, social video, campus activations and events
- Growing existing clients into larger, long-term partnerships
- Working closely with talented in-house editorial and social teams to deliver campaigns
- Building the team around you: creative producers and account executives to follow within six to twelve months, subject to performance

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- Has experience selling across social, campus or events
- Experience in the student or Gen Z space is a bonus, particularly if you have existing relationships with brands or agencies.
- A background working with student-facing categories such as banking, technology, fashion, food delivery, telecoms or graduate recruitment would be especially valuable.
