Job description

Voy is a leading preventive healthcare platform for men and women, with core clinical pathways across weight management, hormone treatments, dermatology and mental health. The business is scaling fast - $675m annualised revenue, growing ~130% YoY, operating across the UK, Brazil, Germany and India.

We're hiring a world-class brand and talent partnership lead to build and run Voy's global brand and ambassador programme across all our categories. You will identify the partnerships that could transform Voy's place in culture, build the relationships to make them happen, and personally negotiate the deals that bring them to life. You will sign the partnerships that millions of people see and remember.

Today, our categories (Weight Loss, Menopause, TRT, Hair Loss, and Diagnostics) each run their own campaigns in parallel. We have signed and in-flight partnerships with some of the most recognisable brands and people in the UK and globally. Your job is to take that fragmented effort and turn it into a single, world-class programme that delivers the next generation of defining partnerships for Voy. The kind that Ro built with Serena Williams, that Nike builds with its athletes, that Oura is with its global partner brands.

You will own a multi-million-pound budget and equity envelope for ambassador programmes across the group.

What you'll be doing

• Own the global brand and talent partnership strategy. Identify and prioritise the most culturally significant brands, celebrities, athletes and ambassadors across every Voy category and territory (UK, Germany, Brazil, US). Build a pipeline of partnerships that can transform Voy's brand awareness, credibility and growth.
• Personally close the deals. Lead negotiations on Tier 1 brand and talent partnerships from first contact to signed contract. Build direct relationships with decision-makers, founders, senior executives, managers and agents. Structure ambitious, long-term partnerships that create value for both sides.
• Build the black book. Bring and grow a personal network of influential people across global brands, entertainment, sport and culture. Know who to call, how to get in the room and how to turn relationships into opportunities that competitors cannot easily replicate.
• Create defining brand collaborations. Identify opportunities to partner with leading global brands through co-branded campaigns, products, experiences, cultural moments and commercial collaborations. Develop propositions that give partners a compelling reason to work with Voy.
• Bring commercial discipline to partnerships. Build a clear understanding of what deals should cost and the value they can generate. Benchmark talent fees, partnership valuations and commercial structures to ensure Voy negotiates from a position of strength.
• Own contract structuring. Work alongside Legal and Finance to design partnership structures that combine cash, equity, commercial value exchange, performance KPIs, exclusivity, usage rights and renewal options. Think beyond conventional sponsorships and one-off paid endorsements.
• Run the programme end-to-end. Own the relationships and commercial delivery of every major partnership, ensuring commitments are fulfilled, opportunities are maximised and partnerships continue to create value over time. Work with internal teams to bring campaigns and activations to life.
• Partner cross-functionally. Work closely with Category Directors of Growth on commercial objectives, Brand on creative opportunities, Press on major cultural moments, and Legal and Finance on deal structures. Collaborate directly with the CEO on Voy's most strategically important partnerships.

Who you are

• An exceptional networker with a powerful black book. You have established relationships with senior decision-makers across major brands, entertainment, sport or culture. You can pick up the phone today and open doors that would otherwise remain closed.
• A proven dealmaker. You have personally originated, negotiated and closed seven-figure strategic partnerships with major brands, celebrities or athletes. You understand how to create deals that deliver meaningful commercial impact, not just publicity.
• Commercially creative. You can see the opportunity in bringing two brands together and develop a proposition that makes both sides want to participate. You think beyond sponsorship fees, finding ways to create value through audiences, distribution, products, content and shared investment.
• An exceptional negotiator. You understand the economics of major partnerships and know how to structure deals that create disproportionate value. You are equally comfortable negotiating with a global brand's CMO, a celebrity's manager or their legal representatives.
• Operationally sharp. You understand complex commercial agreements, intellectual property, usage rights, exclusivity, performance KPIs and equity structures. You work fluently with Legal and Finance and know how to translate an ambitious idea into a commercially sound agreement.
• A genuine cultural reader. You have an instinct for the brands, people and cultural movements shaping consumer behaviour. You know who is rising, who has enduring influence and which partnerships could make Voy more relevant to millions of people.
• A natural relationship builder. Senior executives, managers, agents and partners want to take your call. You understand what motivates the people on the other side of the table and build relationships that extend far beyond individual transactions.
• You thrive in hyper-growth and pace. You are ambitious, resourceful and relentlessly focused on outcomes. You bias to action, personally drive deals forward and don't need a large team or established infrastructure to make things happen.
