Partnership Manager

Wonderly is Haymarket Media Group’s agency dedicated to delivering specialist content, publications, and event solutions for membership bodies, including medical and professional associations.

Our unique expertise combines deep-rooted experience in publishing and content management with high-impact congress and event delivery. We create tailored, audience-first solutions that engage members, support professional development, and extend the reach of our partners into wider specialist communities.

We produce a wide range of products and services for medical and professional audiences - from membership magazines and digital content platforms to large-scale congresses, exhibitions, conferences, and awards ceremonies.

Our current partners include leading organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR), the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), and the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), with more added as we continue to grow in the membership sector.

Overall purpose of the job

As Partnerships Manager, you will play a central role in the successful delivery of high-profile medical congresses and member-facing content for some of the UK’s leading healthcare and professional associations.

Working closely with the Medical Associations Director, you will manage day-to-day client relationships while coordinating internal teams across events, editorial, marketing, commercial, and production functions. Your focus will be on ensuring operational excellence, strategic alignment, and outstanding delivery across each stage of the project lifecycle.

With a particular emphasis on large-scale medical congresses (2,000 - 3,000 attendees) and member publications, you’ll bring a blend of organisation, communication, and commercial acumen to deliver impactful solutions that meet client objectives and exceed expectations.

Key functions include account management, client liaison, project management, team coordination, reporting, administrative and creative support. You will maximise the success of the allocated portfolios through the effective management of the clients and through efficient coordination of internal teams.

1. liaise with clients to understand their strategic goals across events, publishing, and content, ensuring delivery against contractual obligations and KPIs;
2. act as the main link between clients and internal teams, ensuring efficient communication, approvals, and timely issue resolution;
3. coordinate project teams to deliver flagship medical congresses, membership magazines, and digital content projects;
4. manage and facilitate meetings across event operations, production, editorial, marketing, and commercial teams to maintain momentum and clarity;
5. oversee project coordination, including scheduling, minute-taking, action tracking, and progress reporting across all stages of delivery;
6. support data reporting and analysis, preparing clear, insightful updates and presentation decks for clients, pitches, and tenders.

Experience, Knowledge and Skills

strong track record in building and maintaining client relationships, with confidence in leading meetings and navigating complex stakeholder environments;

experienced in using Excel or Google Sheets for data analysis and reporting, including formulas, charts, and KPI tracking;

good understanding of live event delivery, content production, event marketing, sponsorship and exhibition sales;

proactive, detail-oriented, and solutions-focused, with excellent time management and the ability to thrive under pressure in fast-paced settings;
