Kensington, London

We're looking for a Partnership Marketing Manager to lead international media and association partnerships for one of our client's flagship international events, which moves location globally each year.

• Build relationships with international, national and trade media, researching and targeting the right partners for our audience
• Develop new partnership marketing initiatives and craft compelling value propositions
• Work closely with design, marketing, content and sales teams to deliver on-brand partnership materials and campaigns across social, print, web, digital and email
• Track and report on partnership performance, producing regular and annual reports to shape future partnership strategy
• Manage sponsorship fulfilment, ensuring contracted marketing and branding deliverables are executed accurately and on time
• Negotiate contracts, resolve conflicts, and manage the full partner relationship lifecycle
• Maintain accurate partnership records in Salesforce, in line with company process
