Position: Partnerships Manager
The BDA is seeking a Partnerships Manager to work as part of the Commercial Team in order to lead the management and development of the BDA’s corporate partnerships, the securing of sponsorship & partnership income and the delivery of the BDA Work Ready programme, to support the financial sustainability of the association through income diversification.
The role has a particular focus on delivering an integrated approach to partnership development and governance and works across the organisation to maximise the impact of commercial partnerships for our partners and our membership.
The role will support the BDA’s Strategic Plan 2024-34 and will suit a candidate with a proven track record of account management, proposal writing, line management, CRM reporting, commercial sales experience and creative problem-solving skills.
The BDA have a collection of small departments who all work closely together and have a ‘one team’ ethos, so a friendly, team-oriented approach will be welcomed, as well as strategic decision-making skills.
We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running and who is able to continue excellent relationships with our established stakeholders whilst developing new commercial prospects. We would like you to be dynamic and ideally have experience of developing commercial strategies within a regulated or professional association/charity environment along with an understanding of delivering commercial services to a range of partners.
In return, we offer exciting opportunities to develop the commercial arm of the BDA and build purposeful partnership relationships. The team is very friendly and supportive but the role will require somebody who enjoys the challenges that come with a broad role in a small team, as much as meeting sales targets and monitoring project impact.
