Brand Partnership Manager
Own the entire brand deals pipeline for our 100K+ Instagram audience. Manage inbound, build outbound, close paid sponsorships, and turn it into a real revenue function.
The Role
You own the brand deals pipeline end to end. Manage inbound brand inquiries, build outbound, close paid sponsorships, and professionalise what is currently inbound noise into a structured revenue function.
Brands are already reaching out. Your job is to formalise the rate card, decide which deals walk, run the negotiations, and build the outreach engine that compounds.
What You’ll Do
- Prospect and build target lists of brands that fit our AI education audience
- Run outbound outreach across cold email, LinkedIn, and DMs. Manage every inbound inquiry end to end
- Pitch, negotiate, and close paid sponsorships. Handle pricing conversations and formalise our rate card
- Write content briefs and coordinate with editors so branded content meets our standards
- Deliver post-campaign reports to brands. Build the case for repeat partnerships
- Set up and maintain a pipeline CRM. Track every conversation, stage, and deal
- Own partnership strategy - decide which brands to pursue, which to decline
- Build the team. Start solo, then hire and manage BD associates as volume grows
What we’re looking for
- Proven deal-closer - show results, not credentials
- Strong communicator, both written and verbal, representing our brand to every partner
- Organised multi-tasker who doesn't drop the ball when the inbox gets loud
- Comfortable with pricing conversations and negotiations
- Self-starter who can build a BD function from scratch
What You Bring
Must Have
- Proven ability to close deals. Show us results, not credentials
- Strong written and verbal communication - you'll be the voice to every brand
- Self-starter who builds systems, not someone who waits for instructions
- Organised - can manage multiple brand conversations without dropping balls
- Comfortable with pricing conversations and negotiation
Nice to Have
- Experience in creator economy, influencer marketing, or brand partnerships
- Existing network of brand contacts
- Understanding of Instagram content formats and metrics
- Experience building or managing a sales or BD pipeline from scratch
Above market pay, offered individually based on skill and experience. Skip the cover letter. Show us a deal you closed, a partnership you built, or a pipeline you created from nothing. That's what gets our attention.
