ABOUT US
Founded in 2017, BOXRAW is focused on leading the narrative of boxing, by creating a brand that encompasses the lifestyle, culture and competition of our sport. We’re driving boxing forwards, by delivering innovative, credible and disruptive products, across the boxing ecosystem. We enable fighters* of all levels, genders and abilities to compete equally on the world stage or against themselves.
The reason for our early success is our people. We believe in talent and passion. We look for dedication and energy. We encourage creativity and innovation. We don't care where you come from. We care where you're headed. If you're fuelled to be part of a movement that truly appreciates diversity, smart work and a growth mindset then we'd love to hear from you.
*In every mind is a fighter.
THE ROLE
BOXRAW partnerships aren’t random one-offs - they’re a repeatable engine for cultural relevance, community growth, and brand authority in boxing.
We’re hiring a Partnerships Manager to run the day-to-day execution that makes partnerships and activations work: finding influencers, seeding packages, affiliate management, relationship management, talent coordination, Sparring Club logistics, creator briefs, reporting, and general operational problem-solving.
You’ll be the person who keeps the function moving when it gets messy: international time zones, shipping delays, customs issues, last-minute changes, and high standards, whilst ensuring commercial efficiency. You’ll learn fast, gain real responsibility, and build a serious foundation in brand partnerships.
YOUR MANDATE
- Build systems that make execution reliable: trackers, templates, briefs, timelines, and follow-ups.
- Become the go-to person for talent seeding + coordination, and the glue between partners and the brand team.
- Help Sparring Club and activations feel tight, premium, and culturally relevant — not amateur
HOW YOU’LL WORK
- You own: day-to-day execution, comms, follow-ups, logistics, trackers, briefs, and making sure nothing slips.
- You’ll work closely with the Brand Producer when activations overlap with shoots and GTM timelines
ACCOUNTABILITES
1. Partnerships Pipeline & Outreach Support
- Maintain and update the partnerships pipeline and contact lists (fighters, coaches, gyms, creators, brands).
- Support outreach: follow-ups, scheduling, inbox management, and keeping momentum.
- Research and propose new talent/partners aligned to BOXRAW (boxing, sport, culture, entertainment).
2. Relationship Management (Talent + Partners)
- Keep relationships warm: check-ins, timely replies, managing expectations, being professional and likeable.
- Coordinate bookings, appearances, visits, content commitments, and confirmations.
- Handle day-to-day comms so senior time is spent on the high-leverage parts.
3. Seeding, Packages & Styling Support
- Build and manage seeding packages end-to-end: product selection, sizing, personalisation, packaging notes, and dispatch.
- Know how to put together strong outfits for talent (what looks good, what fits the culture, what they’ll actually wear).
- Chase deliveries, manage missing parcels, resolve customs delays, and coordinate with shipping providers.
4. Sparring Club & Activation Operations
- Support Sparring Club execution: sourcing venues, vendors, F&B, equipment, staffing, timings, run-of-show support.
- Make calls, send enquiries, chase quotes, compare options, and escalate decisions fast.
- Help bring the “premium but gritty” BOXRAW standard to real-world events.
5. Creator/UGC Sourcing & Briefing
- Identify and recruit creators who can deliver high-quality, culturally relevant UGC.
- Write clear briefs: deliverables, references, hooks, timelines, usage rights, do’s/don’ts.
- Track output, chase deadlines, and ensure content meets baseline quality before it reaches the team.
6. Deliverables, Tracking & Accountability
- Track deliverables across talent/partners: posts, stories, appearances, content deadlines, rights and usage.
- Keep everything documented: what was agreed, by when, and what we got.
- Flag issues early with solutions (not excuses).
7. Reporting, KPIs & Admin Excellence
- Maintain a clean partnerships tracker and weekly updates.
- Report on KPIs: content delivered, reach/engagement, views, link performance, redemptions, event impact (where applicable).
- Be strong with spreadsheets, organisation, and basic operational finance (quotes, invoices, budgets with the Producer).
EXPERIENCE
- 2+ years experience in Athlete partnerships and negotiations with athletes (essential), affiliate management, talent, influencer, events, brand activation, production.
- Extremely organised with sharp attention to detail (sizes, dates, deliverables, addresses, timelines).
- Confident communicator, comfortable messaging/calling fighters, gyms, creators, and partners.
- Calm under pressure; can juggle many moving parts without dropping the ball.
- Strong cultural awareness (boxing + sport + entertainment): you know what’s relevant and what’s cringe.
- Solid with spreadsheets and trackers; you don’t avoid admin, you win through it.
- Flexibility for early/late calls when working internationally.
- Boxing experience/knowledge
Bonus: styling eye, basic negotiation confidence, and event experience
