The Opportunity

As Head of Partnerships, you’ll join at a pivotal moment for Tempcover. You’ll inherit a strong portfolio of partnerships giving you a strong starting position, as well as having the autonomy to seek new partners, and truly shape our commercial relationships. This role has a clear trajectory: as we scale, so does the opportunity, including the chance to build and lead a small team of your own.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take full ownership of Tempcover’s partnership relationships, from onboarding through to long-term growth. Day-to-day, that means:

• Developing and building long-term professional relationships with existing and new partners to meet and exceed our mutual targets.
• Working closely with our Pricing and Underwriting team to develop new commercial propositions
• Active prospecting and outreach to senior stakeholders at key target opportunities
• Leading the onboarding process for new partners ensuring it is delivered as per the client’s requirements. This will involve working closely with the internal Product and Tech, and liaising with the client; supporting with project briefs, contract development and sign off, due diligence, compliance, MI and reporting.
• Scanning the market and originating opportunities: Identifying and actively prospecting key target opportunities in the automotive and insurance sectors, engaging directly with senior decision makers.
• Owning the portfolio: Elevating and expanding a strong existing portfolio of partnerships, maintaining a rigorous performance rhythm to meet and exceed mutual targets.
• Introducing new products and services to existing partners that benefit customers
• Operating as the commercial anchor: Serving as the lead point of contact and senior commercial voice of the partner internally, adeptly navigating and resolving complex product, service, or operational challenges

What We’re Looking For

We want someone who’s done this before, who knows how to build trust with partner contacts at every level, and who brings both the commercial instinct and the personal credibility to make things happen. Beyond the day-to-day, we’re looking for someone who thinks about what the role could grow into, not just what it is today.

You’ll Bring

• A track record of growing complex B2B partnerships end-to-end, not just maintaining accounts, but actively owning the commercial outcome and driving proactive growth.
• Experience operating at senior stakeholder levels, both internally and externally, with the credibility to influence partner strategy and the authority to drive decisions.
• Strong analytical and commercial skills utilising data to size opportunities, stress-test propositions, and translate insights into tangible commercial actions.
• Demonstrated ability to navigate cross-functional internal teams (Product, Tech, Pricing, Underwriting) to get complex partner propositions live without losing momentum.
• An understanding of the automotive and insurance/insurtech markets is highly desirable, but a sharp commercial mindset and adaptability are paramount.
• High energy and autonomy: You are a self-starter who thrives in an agile, fast-paced scale-up environment, bringing proactive problem-solving to the table.

You don’t need to tick off everything on this list - so don’t let that hold you back from applying. We want to make sure you’re learning plenty during your time with us!

Our Commitment to You

We are dedicated to developing valuable, inclusive, and user-friendly products and services that deliver positive outcomes for all of our customers. To achieve this, it’s essential that our teams reflect the diverse range of people in our community. We believe in being the change we wish to see in the world, by embracing our differences and holding ourselves accountable to being open and inclusive teammates and wider community members.

What We Offer

We want to give you a great work environment, support your growth both personally and professionally, and provide benefits that make your time at RVU even more enjoyable. Here are some of the benefits you can look forward to:

• 10% discretionary yearly bonus and yearly pay reviews (based on RVU and personal performance)
