About the Role
The Brand Partnerships Manager is responsible for unlocking external attention, credibility, and distribution through creators, brands, and cultural partners. This role owns partnerships end-to-end—from identifying the right partners, to structuring deals, to launching and scaling what works. This is a commercial, relationship-driven role, not a brand governance role.
Responsibilities
- Identify and develop high-leverage partnerships with creators, complementary brands, communities, events, and cultural platforms.
- Pitch, negotiate, and structure partnership deals including revenue share, affiliate/code-based, co-branded launches, and content swaps.
- Own the partner lifecycle from outreach to renewal.
- Build repeatable partnership playbooks.
- Coordinate internally to bring partnerships live, including creative briefs, launch calendars, and distribution plans.
- Track performance and ROI of all partnerships.
Requirements
- 4–8 years experience in partnerships, creator strategy, or BD.
- Comfortable pitching, negotiating, and closing deals.
- Understand how creators and brands actually make money.
- Ability to balance relationship-building with commercial rigor.
- Proactive, outbound, and not afraid of rejection.
- Know when something is on-brand vs. just popular.
