Our client is a Nationwide membership organisation. They're looking for a commercially minded Partnership & Sponsorship Manager to manage and grow a portfolio of strategic partners, ensuring they receive outstanding service while identifying opportunities to increase commercial value.

Working closely with the Marketing team, you'll coordinate partner campaigns, oversee promotional activity and ensure maximum value is delivered for both partners and the organisation. Alongside managing existing relationships, you'll identify suitable sponsorship opportunities for events and negotiate commercially beneficial agreements.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and develop a portfolio of strategic commercial partners
- Build long-term relationships with key stakeholders
- Create and deliver account plans to maximise commercial value
- Negotiate commercial agreements and renewals
- Work closely with Marketing to deliver partner campaigns across digital, social media and events
