Qualifications

• 6-8 years in partnerships, talent, media, or brand strategy with meaningful experience in deal structuring and evaluation, not just execution.
• Strong analytical foundation: comfortable building models, interpreting platform and brand lift data, and designing measurement frameworks from scratch.
• Experience working across commercial and retail environments; you understand how a social moment translates downstream to sell-through.

• Produce internal and partner-facing performance reports, briefing decks, and post-campaign learnings that drive smarter future investments.
• Build and maintain the deal proposition framework that governs how we evaluate and tier talent partnerships, defining the rigor applied to global brand ambassador deals vs. regional vs. macro talent, including financial thresholds, strategic fit criteria, and expected ROI.
• Manage contract terms including deliverables, usage rights, paid vs. organic KPI splits, and measurement requirements.
• Drive continuous benchmarking vs. competitors and category trends to pressure-test our deal logic and inform partnership strategy.
• Define and own KPIs and benchmarking frameworks across the partner portfolio including organic and paid social, OTT and paid media, brand awareness and lift, revenue lift, and virality.
• Build and maintain partner scorecards and dashboards; run A/B tests, attribute impact, and translate findings into clear optimization recommendations.
• Develop predictive models to forecast partner contribution to social and business objectives at the time of deal evaluation and post-launch.
