Job description

We are extraordinary people creating extraordinary experiences. #extraordinarytogether

Part of The Bicester Collection, Bicester Village doesn't do ordinary. Set in the heart of rural Oxfordshire, well connected across the UK, our open-air, pedestrianised Village is home to more than 160 boutiques, a celebrated food and drink scene, and a team that refuses to stand still.

The International Markets and Partnerships team is hiring a Partnerships Development Manager.

The role

The Partnerships Development Manager drives the commercial planning, performance insight and governance that enable global and Village partnerships to grow international guest acquisition, incremental sales and long-term value for The Bicester Collection.

What you'll be doing

A few of the key responsibilities in this role:

• Lead the partnership roadmap: Shape and own the planning framework for our partnerships, giving every partner a clear, data-backed route to driving commercial value and growing international visitor numbers.
• Manage partnership finances: Track and govern the budget across our partner portfolio, keeping investment and partner contributions transparent, well controlled and focused on International Markets priorities.
• Turn data into decisions: Build reporting and insight that the business trusts, helping teams act early on partner performance, campaign results and where to invest next.
• Raise the bar on how we work: Work across teams to sharpen partnership strategy and delivery, bringing rigour to how we evaluate success and consistency to how we use data.

What we’re looking for

We foster a culture of winning together, and we work hard to ensure everyone is supported to succeed. To thrive in this role, you'll bring:

• Relevant experience: Five to seven years in partnerships, business planning, commercial analytics or performance management, ideally in luxury, retail, travel, hospitality or financial services.
• Performance measurement know-how: A track record of building and owning partner or channel performance frameworks, from setting KPIs and scorecards to measuring ROI and incremental sales.
• Reporting and dashboard skills: Hands‑on experience creating interactive dashboards and automated reporting in Power BI or a similar tool.
• Strong planning and organisation: Confident building commercial and marketing calendars, and comfortable juggling multiple partners and workstreams at the same time.
