About the Role
This is a varied role where no two days are the same. The Strategic Partnerships Executive is an exciting role that manages and maximises the commercial value of our strategic associations. This role is responsible for creating, developing, and progressing opportunities from already established partner relationships, ensuring that strategic partnerships actively contribute to pipeline generation and revenue growth. This is a commercial role, not an administrative or support function. It owns the front end of the commercial process within existing memberships, turning engagement into measurable business outcomes. At the same time, you'll work closely with our Business Development team to identify, qualify, and develop opportunities that also contribute to revenue growth.
What You'll Be Doing
Strategic Partner Account Management
- Own the day-to-day commercial management of a portfolio of strategic associations
- Build strong, proactive relationships with key partner stakeholders
- Develop a deep understanding of partner priorities, member needs, and commercial opportunities
- Create and execute structured engagement plans to maximise partner value
Opportunity Creation & Pipeline Ownership (Primary Responsibility)
- Identify, build, and progress opportunities within existing memberships and partner networks
- Proactively engage membership base and partner relationship to uncover commercial needs, challenges, and opportunities
- Own the early-stage pipeline development process: Identify → qualify → develop → progress
- Maintain clear ownership of pipeline generated from strategic partnerships
- Ensure opportunities are commercially viable, well-qualified, and actionable
