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.
