Head of Partnerships

• Build partnerships
• Create collaborations
• Drive growth

What if your next role gave you the freedom to build the partnerships function — rather than simply managing one?

A fast-growing Australian eyewear and lifestyle brand is looking for a commercially minded Head of Strategic Partnerships to help take its growth to the next level. This is an opportunity to join an ambitious, design-led consumer brand where partnerships aren't an afterthought — they're a core growth engine.

You will be responsible for finding the brands, creators, retailers, personalities and commercial partners that can take the brand into new audiences, new channels and new opportunities. You will spot the opportunity, make the connection, build the relationship, negotiate the deal and bring it to life.

And you will work directly with the founders while doing it.

About the role

• Own partnerships end to end — from identifying and pitching opportunities through to negotiation, launch, relationship management and renewal.
• Identify exciting brands, creators, retailers, personalities and strategic partners.
• Develop relationships across the consumer, fashion, lifestyle, sport, media and ecommerce landscape.
• Negotiate commercial terms, value exchange, and deal structures with partners.
• Identify and develop a network of high-performing affiliates, creators, publishers and digital partners who can introduce the brand to new audiences.
• Discover new affiliate platforms, communities and opportunities.
• Track partner performance and identify opportunities for growth.
• Provide strategic direction and mentorship to the existing influencer partnerships.

It's about finding the right people, building the right relationships and creating partnerships that perform.

About you

You may have worked in eyewear, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, ecommerce, sport, media, entertainment, consumer technology or another fast-moving consumer brand. What matters is that you know how to build relationships and turn them into commercial opportunities.

You will ideally have

• Experience building and managing commercial partnerships.
• Strong business development and outbound relationship-building skills.
• Experience negotiating commercial agreements and partnership terms.
• Understanding of affiliate marketing and performance partnerships.
• Experience working with creators, influencers, publishers or digital partners.
• Strong commercial acumen and an understanding of ROI.
