Perks
- Bonus
What you'll do
- Source, pitch, and close branded content partnerships where the brand co-funds production in exchange for integration and co-marketing
- Own the brand-side commercial relationship end to end: pitch, scope, pricing, contract, and renewal
- Build and work the agency channel, media agencies, creative agencies, and branded entertainment shops, as a durable source of inbound deal flow
- Time the pipeline to brand budget cycles, pitching one cycle ahead rather than chasing remaining spend
- Build the sales collateral: case studies with performance data, a rate card, and a standard partnership deck
- Manage external consultants and vendor relationships in this area, with a clear recommendation to the executive team on which to keep, replace, or drop
- Partner with the content team so integrations serve the story, a partnership that damages watch-through is not a win
What they're looking for
- 8+ years in brand partnerships, branded entertainment, integrated marketing sales, or agency-side account leadership, with a closed-deal track record
- An active book of brand-side and agency contacts you can activate in your first 60 days
- Working command of how brand marketing budgets are planned, allocated, and defended, including the timing of the cycle and who holds the pen
- Experience with entertainment or content-led partnerships, as opposed to pure media buying
- Ability to run the full cycle solo, from cold outreach through contract
- Beauty, fashion, footwear, CPG, or gaming category experience a plus
- Prior work with creator-economy, social-first, or short-form video partnerships a plus
- Experience managing talent or casting partnerships as part of a brand campaign a plus
