About the Role – Partnerships Executive
Joint Ownership of Partnership Workstreams
You’ll manage live partnership workstreams to deliver generational impact—both as a partner-facing delivery agent and a team enabler.
- Work directly with the Partnerships Manager to ensure high-quality, commercial partnerships.
- Manage day-to-day partner relationships while ensuring sales teams have the tools to sell partnership products with confidence.
This role is not a strategic one, but it will be your hands-on delivery role with every opportunity to own it, mature it, and scale it. There’s potential for this role to pivot to permanent status—all within 6 months.
Reports to: Partnerships Manager Contract Type: Fixed Term (6-month contract) Location: Richmond, UK (Hybrid)
Why This Role Matters
"Commercial partnerships at Cazoo are still maturing, which means this role expands beyond typical partnerships—it engages with the core of integration, sales enablement, and scaling a new network for partners." —Sam Jones, Partnerships Manager
If you want to understand how a partner ecosystem evolves, this is your place to engage with it at its foundation.
Key Responsibilities

- Day-to-Day Engagement: Be the primary contact for real-time partnership resolutions.
- Tracking Metrics: Monitor and escalate any misalignment in communication, timelines, or deliverables.
- Trust-Building: Foster transparency and accountability in partner relations while consistently following through.
Project Delivery & Coordination
- From Strategy to Execution: Own iterative development through live product launches and post-project tracking.
- Cross-Disciplinary Averaging: Liaise with Sales, Marketing, Product, Data, Legal, and Eng to keep deliverables on the move.
- Visibility: Maintain a bird’s-eye view of every active workstream, including owners, deadlines, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Blocker Mitigation: Identify risks early and suggest solutions over merely flagging problematic tasks.
