WST is going through an interesting and exciting period of innovation and strategic growth. We have built a calendar of over 20 major events and nurtured a passionate global fanbase of over 500 million, from the UK to China, Europe to the Middle East.

We have set ambitious growth targets with Partnerships sitting at the centre of our strategy, and our goal is to build an industry-leading Partnership programme that will spearhead the next 5 years’ growth.

Joining WST means being part of a growing global movement – and making a real impact on the future of the sport.

Your day-to-day will involve:

• Owning and managing relationships with key global partners across the WST portfolio, from onboarding through to renewal and expansion.
• Developing tailored partner strategies and activation plans that align WST’s core pillars with each partner’s goals – including digital, social, marketing, and on-event integrations.
• Delivering onboarding workshops at the start of each season to align mutual objectives, set expectations, and foster collaboration.
• Tracking and optimising performance, setting clear objectives and KPIs, working closely with the Insights team to demonstrate ROI and capture success through detailed reporting and case studies.
• Overseeing delivery of all rights, maintaining a live master rights tracker and ensuring every contractual element is activated to maximum effect.
• Driving creativity and value, identifying new opportunities to help partners engage fans in innovative ways and making full use of the WST platform.
• Representing WST on-site and at key events, delivering exceptional hospitality experiences and acting as the lead point of contact for VIP guests and senior stakeholders.
• Supporting commercial growth by feeding into new business conversations, providing insight, and contributing to the development of compelling partnership proposals.

Your skills and experience:

You’ll bring proven partnership management experience, preferably within sport or entertainment, with a proven track record of both leadership and collaboration.

You should have:

• A deep understanding of how commercial rights can drive brand objectives.
• A proactive, relationship-driven approach combined with outstanding organisational and project management skills.
