Brand Partnerships and Activations - New York

ENSO is a premium energy drink built for ambitious professionals. Clean ingredients, 100mg of natural green tea caffeine, and a design language unlike any other energy brand. ENSO delivers energy without the noise.

We are looking for someone to put ENSO in the right rooms, build the relationships that matter, and create real-world moments people remember. This role is the brand’s presence in New York. Applicants must be in New York City and have partnership experience and relationships.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

— Build strategic partnerships. Source and close relationships with companies, hospitality groups, fitness and wellness studios, art galleries, fashion brands, conferences, agencies, universities, and other culturally relevant partners.

— Own activations end to end. Plan and execute founder dinners, office sampling, wellness events, Fashion Week moments, conferences, pop-ups, and VIP gifting — from concept through follow-up.

— Seed the brand. Get ENSO into the hands of founders, bankers, consultants, designers, architects, athletes, creators, journalists, and tastemakers.

— Be the face of ENSO in New York. Build a durable local network across operators, founders, agencies, venues, event organizers, and creators.

— Drive measurable growth. Own the partnership pipeline and report on recurring accounts, sampling volume, event return, earned reach, and the wholesale opportunities you create.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

— Experience. A background in partnerships, experiential marketing, business development, events, hospitality, consumer startups, fashion, media, or premium lifestyle brands.

— Profile. Highly social, organized, proactive, and commercially minded. Comfortable pitching senior decision-makers, and genuinely willing to be out in the market several nights a week.

— Taste. Strong instincts for premium brands, culture, and hospitality — and a real sense for the kinds of experiences people want to attend.
