• Negotiate commercial terms, review contracts and support the onboarding of new partners and accounts.
• Work cross-functionally with Brand, Marketing, Trade Marketing, Creative and Supply Chain to deliver the right assets, activations and customer experience across every channel.
• Identify and manage partner-specific opportunities including sampling, exclusive bundles, promotional activity, newsletters and digital placements, ensuring activity delivers a strong commercial return.
• Oversee partner content and new line forms, working with internal teams to ensure product information, copy, assets and keywords are optimised for partner dotcoms.
• Monitor and report on account performance and partner exposure, using data and insight to inform future commercial strategies.
