With an established brand reputation, strong recurring revenue model and ambitious expansion plans, partnerships are a critical growth channel for the next phase of scale.

- Negotiate commercial introducer contracts
- Deliver weekly and monthly MI reporting
- Prepare tenders, proposals and commercial documentation
- Work cross-functionally with sales, marketing and operations
- Drive measurable revenue performance through the partner channel
What We’re Looking For
- Proven track record in partnership development and commercial growth
- Experience working with trade associations or membership bodies
- Strong negotiation and influencing skills
- Confident presenting at board or C-suite level
- Data-driven with the ability to produce clear performance reporting
- Exposure to HR, Employment Law or Health & Safety sectors advantageous
- Highly self-motivated, target-driven and relationship-focused
