We are on the search for two great Partnerships Managers to join our growing content marketing service, Publicis Content.  Reporting into the Partnerships Director, you'll create and deliver multiple branded content partnerships across a range of clients, sectors and media channels.  One of these roles looks after Spark Foundry clients (such as Mondelez and Meta), and the other aligns with Starcom and their clients (such as Visa and Ferrero).

What will I be doing?

In this role, you will:

• Be responsible for project managing the end-to-end delivery of your campaigns across sponsorship, product placement and advertiser funded programmes (AFPs), ensuring they run smoothly, on time and deliver agreed KPIs;
• Challenge suppliers & media owners to deliver innovative responses to briefs & provide solutions to client challenges
• Negotiate best value on every content partnership, ensuring that relevant trading teams are informed of campaigns and that all projects comply with any pre-agreed pricing guarantees by media
• Line manage at least one Partnerships Executive, providing leadership, inspiration and motivation

Overall, you'll manage day to day relationships with your clients, resolve issues and know when to escalate any issues, and through this client contact, will also be able to identify new opportunities to integrate partnerships solutions into their wider proposition.

What are we looking for?

When it comes to Partnerships Managers in our team, we ask for someone to bring their experience of creating and project managing successful branded content partnerships to the table. You'll be flexible and hardworking, with changing deadlines the norm to you and working well under pressure.

In addition, you'll have:

• Great verbal and written communication skills;
• Strong creative, project manager and negotiation skills.

You'll also have a genuine passion for content and partnerships, with a wide-reaching knowledge of both partnerships and sponsorships and an ability to appreciate when they're done particularly well. You'll be able to impart this passion to the wider team, and help inspire that team's culture.
