Brand Partnership & Campaign Manager

Salary:
From £30,000- £40,000 plus bonus

Role:
Permanent

 

Location:
Remote, England


One of our clients are looking for a Brand Partnership & Growth Manager to join their team due to growth.

The Role

This role exists to grow revenue from brands already in our ecosystem and convert qualified interest into long-term partnerships.

You will own brand relationships commercially — from discovering brands they can sell high value deals to serious conversation through renewal, upsell, expansion, and ongoing growth. This is not a coordination role. This is not account babysitting.

You are accountable for:

  • Revenue growth

  • Retention

  • Expansion

  • Commercial clarity between brand ↔ agency ↔ creator

If a brand stalls, underperforms, churns, or doesn’t expand — you take responsibility and fix it.

Why This Role Exists Now

Our client is an influencer marketing agency that has proven demand — but not yet built a mature commercial system.

Right now:

  • Most brand deals are one-off influencer partnerships

  • Founder involvement is high

  • Pipeline, nurturing, and offer structure are inconsistent

  • Retention and expansion exist — but are not predictable

This role exists to change that.

The Brand Partnerships & Growth Manager will own the entire commercial lifecycle:

  • Defining who we sell to

  • Building a pipeline from scratch

  • Structuring influencer marketing offers

  • Nurturing brands into long-term partnerships

  • Turning one-off deals into durable revenue

Apply

This is not a role for someone joining a finished system.

This is for someone who can build one.

Responsibilities / Ownership

1. Commercial Strategy & ICP Definition

  • Define and continuously refine the companies Ideal Customer Profiles across:

  • Brand size

  • Category

  • Geography

  • Influencer maturity

  • Decide who we pursue and who we ignore

  • Shape positioning and messaging based on ICP pain points and buying triggers

You are responsible for ensuring we pursue quality, not noise.

2. Pipeline Creation From Scratch

  • Build and own a brand pipeline from the ground up

  • Design outbound strategies tailored to each ICP:

  • Cold outreach

  • Warm re-engagement

  • Partner-led introductions

  • Determine:

  • Target volumes

  • Sequencing

  • Qualification standards

  • Ensure pipeline health is intentional, not accidental

If the pipeline is weak, it’s visible — and it’s yours to fix.

3. Offer Design & Deal Structuring

  • Translate brand needs into clear, compelling offers

  • Decide when to sell:

  • One-off activations

  • Retainers

  • End-to-end managed services

  • Structure deals that balance:

  • Brand outcomes

  • Creator economics

  • Agency margins

  • Pressure-test briefs, lead magnets, budgets, and timelines before execution

You are accountable for what they sell, not just that they sell.


4. Lead Nurturing & Conversion

  • Own brand relationships from first touch to closed deal

  • Design and execute nurture paths:

  • Education

  • Timing-based follow-ups

  • Value-driven check-ins

  • Move brands forward decisively or disqualify them early

  • Ensure no warm lead goes stale due to inaction

Momentum is managed — not hoped for.

5. Revenue Growth, Retention & Expansion

  • Own commercial performance across your book of business

  • Identify and execute upsell and expansion opportunities

  • Drive renewals and long-term partnerships

  • Reduce churn through clarity, expectation-setting, and ownership

Growth is not a separate phase — it’s part of the role.

6. Forecasting, Reporting & Commercial Clarity

  • Maintain a clean view of:

  • Pipeline

  • Active deals

  • Expansion opportunities

  • At-risk accounts

  • Forecast revenue accurately

  • Surface risks early and act on them

No surprises. No ambiguity.

7. Cross-Functional Execution

  • Work closely with:

  • Campaign Managers (delivery & performance)

  • Influencer Partnerships team (creator supply, upsell opportunities & rates)

  • Ops (process, reporting, scale)

  • Translate brand goals into clear internal direction

  • Hold the line on scope creep and timeline drift

You don’t “manage” execution — but you own the outcome.

Success in This Role Looks Like

Within 30 days:

  • A strategy and funnel for lead gen is developed.

  • Active conversations for upsells with current clients begin.

  • Improvements in the current sales pipeline and how every client / lead is approached.

  • Syncing with the sales and campaigns team along with Ops to set a standard for delivery and quality.

Within 90 days:

  • You fully own a book of brand accounts

  • You are confidently leading commercial conversations

  • You’ve identified clear expansion paths across your accounts

  • You’ve successfully signed recurring retainers / high value deals to the agency - the revenue difference should be clearly visible.


Within 6–12 months:

  • Accounts you manage grow in value

  • Retention is high

  • Brands proactively involve you in planning

  • Revenue feels stable, expandable, and predictable

  • You’ve successfully added multi 5 figures of MRR to the agency.

You’ll Thrive in This Role If…

  • Have experience selling influencer marketing or agency services

  • Have 3–6+ years in partnerships, growth, or commercial roles

  • Have worked in an early or messy agency environment

  • Are comfortable building structure from nothing

  • Think commercially, not just transactionally

  • Can hold difficult conversations with brands

You’ll Struggle in This Role If…

  • You only want to close deals inside an existing pipeline

  • You rely on heavy founder guidance

  • You avoid ambiguity

  • You don’t want responsibility for outcomes

  • You aren’t numbers or commercially focussed.
