Senior Partnerships Manager x 2 – Award-winning Creative Boutique – To £45k + bonus
Multi-award-winning creative agency seeks two Senior Partnerships Managers with at least five years’ experience of entertainment-led brand partnerships as well as a strong client-servicing background.
The Agency
A fast-paced, passionate bunch, this agency thrives on bringing to life award-winning creative, strategic and multi-faceted international campaigns.
The agency has an enviable ethos: to create a culture and environment where everyone can succeed professionally and personally and where everyone’s work / life balance is truly valued and respected.
People absolutely love working there.... they are proud to say that many of their stars have been part of the agency family for 8 - 10 years!
The clients
Role 1 - For the past 9 years, the agency has been working as the go-to partnerships and promotions agency for this instantly recognisable international film company.
The company is responsible for the marketing and Box Office success of all theatrical releases in the UK. Key titles for 2021 / 22 include some of the biggest sequels in film history.
The agency work across the studios’ biggest cinema releases, developing ground-breaking, multiplatform brand partnerships, designed to drive Box Office sales.
Role 2 – In this role you will be working with the biggest gaming retailer in the country in addition to a hugely popular TV animation company who produce some of the world’s most iconic films.
The Senior Partnerships Managers required
The agency is looking for two outstanding SPMs, with a proven track record, to help them continue to deliver innovative campaigns.
So, if you’re a partnerships expert with experience identifying, negotiating and delivering significant blue-chip brand partnerships and are eager to work for a company where you can learn from passionate people with tons of industry experience, these are the roles for you!

On each release, they work with the client team to define the partnership strategy and approach for the UK, identifying target brands that meet their requirements (more often than not these sit in the non-traditional space). The agency’s remit spans pitching, negotiation and deal finalisation through to facilitating activation of the campaigns.
For the TV animation company and gaming retailer it’s similar - you’ll be responsible for identifying potential brand partners, aligning with the film company and gaming retailer’s strategies, securing pitch meetings, negotiation and ultimately closing the deals.
The roles and responsibilities
The Senior Partnerships Managers will support the Partnerships Director in the smooth running of the accounts, with frequent contact with the clients both in the UK and the International team who are based in LA.
