Job description

Partnerships Manager | Blackpool area (Hybrid) | B2B / Membership Services

Are you an experienced partnerships or account management professional who enjoys building strong commercial relationships and turning them into measurable results?

This is a key role managing a portfolio of third‑party service providers, ensuring they deliver against commercial, operational and contractual objectives while identifying opportunities to strengthen and expand those partnerships.

You’ll take ownership of key partner relationships, monitor performance and revenue, lead regular reviews, analyse data and make recommendations to improve the member/customer experience.

You’ll also work closely with Marketing and wider stakeholders on campaigns, communications, content and the launch of new products and services.

There’s also plenty of variety - from supporting tenders and contract negotiations and identifying new opportunities and helping bring new partners and services to market.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Strong partnership, account management or commercial experience
• A track record of delivering against challenging targets and deadlines
• Experience supporting new products or services through to launch
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• A commercially minded, analytical approach with strong reporting/KPI experience
• The ability to work confidently across multiple teams in a fast-moving environment

A relevant qualification in marketing, communications or business is desirable, as is experience working with third‑party service providers or within a membership organisation. The role requires the incumbent to be able to travel to their Blackpool head offices 2 days a week.

A great opportunity for someone who wants genuine ownership of partner relationships, commercial performance and the development of a growing service portfolio.
