Brand Partnerships Director

Brand Partnerships Director - Finance / Tech / B2B Verticals

London | Hybrid

We’re partnering with a growing international sports business who are looking for a Brand Partnerships Director to sell into Finance, Tech and B2B verticals.

This is a highly-funded organisation building a global sports events calendar from the ground up. The business is focused on premium experiences, modern storytelling and long-term partnerships.

The Role

You will lead the acquisition of global partners, selling high-value, multi-year partnerships to organisations looking to engage an UHNW international audience through sport, content and live experiences.

A strong, active book of client-direct relationships is essential – e.g. Tech, Finance etc.

Partnerships are bespoke and creatively led, supported by embedded creative strategy. You will initially operate as an individual contributor, with a clear path to building and leading a team as the organisation scales.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Personally originating and closing high-value, global sponsorship partnerships
• Leveraging an established network of direct brand and client-side decision-makers to open doors quickly
• Working closely with creative strategists to shape innovative, executable propositions
• Operating confidently in a founder-stage environment with evolving structure and process
• Playing a key role in shaping the long-term commercial model of the organisation

The Profile We’re Looking For

• Proven track record selling seven-figure sponsorship or partnership deals
• Established, client-direct relationships at senior decision-maker level (non-negotiable)
• Comfortable selling vision, access and future value (not just inventory)
• Experience within sport, live events, media or premium experiential environments

Hybrid working: This role requires a minimum of 3-days per week in their new Mayfair offices plus international travel.

Compensation: They have a competitive base salary + 40% bonus allocated for this hire.

If you have a relevant profile for this role, we will be in touch within 5 working days. Our client is not able to offer sponsorship, so you will need right to work in the UK.
