- Manage partnerships and projects end-to-end, from concept through to execution and reporting
- Own budgets and drive commercial outcomes across collaborations
- Act as the link between creative and product direction and commercial performance
- Ensure all activity aligns with brand calendar, values, tone, and long-term vision
- Create outreach materials, including decks and partnership proposals
- Work closely with marketing and social teams on influencer and talent partnerships
- Write and distribute press releases to secure global coverage
- Concept and execute PR moments, events, and activations from idea through to delivery
- Source and manage external PR agencies where required
- Lead / support on event execution, including on-site management
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
