In this role, you will manage and grow a portfolio of digital publishing licensees, ensuring effective account stewardship, product development, and commercial performance across multiple projects in a fast-paced, consumer-focused environment. You will act as a problem-solver and trusted partner to internal and external stakeholders, using data-driven insights, strong communication, and meticulous planning to deliver high-quality digital products and campaigns. Manage relationships with assigned digital publishing licensees, responding to requests, guiding publishing plans, overseeing product approvals, and maintaining clear, effective communications.

• Monitor the competitive landscape, analyse market and consumer trends, and provide recommendations for new business leads and emerging digital publishing opportunities.
• Operate as a results-oriented, independent worker who may lead small projects, offering new perspectives on existing solutions and acting as a resource for colleagues with less experience.
• Demonstrate cultural sensitivity and a customer-focused, team-oriented approach when collaborating across regions and functions to support global emerging business development in the digital space.
