The Role

We’re looking for a Partnerships & Campaign Manager to lead the pitching (sell in) and delivery of best-in-class brand campaigns while acting as a trusted, client-facing partner.

This is a hybrid role sitting at the intersection of client servicing, account management and campaign delivery. You’ll take ownership of projects from brief through to execution—working across a diverse mix of partnerships including talent, content, experiential, podcast and sports marketing.

You’ll be as comfortable in front of clients as you are managing complex delivery—connecting the dots between brands, rights holders, creators and production partners to bring ideas to life.

What You’ll Do:

Client Leadership & Servicing

• Confidently lead conversations, manage expectations and guide clients through delivery

• Act as the central connector between clients, internal teams and external partners 

Brief Response & Opportunity Spotting

• Take client briefs and shape smart, culturally relevant responses 
• Proactively identify opportunities for partnerships, integrations and campaign extensions 
• Work with strategy and creative teams to develop compelling partnership ideas 

Partnership & Stakeholder Management

• Build and manage relationships with talent, creators, production partners, rights holders and media platforms 
• Navigate complex partnership ecosystems (e.g. studios, talent teams, event partners) 
• Ensure all parties are aligned and delivering against campaign objectives 

Collaboration

• Work closely with internal teams across creative, strategy, production and experiential 
• Contribute to a collaborative, solutions-focused team culture 

What We’re Looking For

• 5-6  years experience in an agency or similar fast-paced environment 
• Proven experience delivering multi-channel partnership campaigns (e.g. talent/influencer, content, events, sponsorship, podcasts, sports) 
• Strong client-facing and account handling skills—confident, credible and solutions-oriented 
• Experience managing end-to-end campaign delivery, including logistics and multiple stakeholders 
• Ability to take a brief, spot opportunities and build compelling responses 
• Comfortable working across a wide range of disciplines and formats 
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple projects under pressure 
• Happy to be in the office three days a week minimum and in front of clients – often working from their offices
• Excellent communication and presentation skills 

Ideal Profile

• Has worked across a broad mix of partnerships—from creators and celebrities to content and live experiences 
• Thrives in a fast-moving, multi-project agency environment 
• Equally strong at big-picture thinking and detail-oriented execution 
• Commercially aware with a proactive, problem-solving mindset 
• Passionate about culture, entertainment and how brands show up within it
