4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Revenue from Managed Partnerships
The total cash revenue generated from the portfolio of partnerships you directly manage and close.
Target · Achieve £250K - £500K annual revenue

Closed deals worth £120K in Q1, putting you on track for £480K for the year. This includes renewals and new business within your assigned portfolio.

Partner Renewal Rate
The percentage of your existing partners who sign up again for the next event cycle.
Target · Maintain 75%+ renewal rate for your portfolio

Out of 20 partners managed in 2023, 16 renewed for 2024, resulting in an 80% renewal rate. This shows you're keeping them happy!

New Partner Acquisition (Volume)
The number of brand-new partners you bring into our ecosystem, typically through inbound leads or smaller outbound efforts.
Target · Secure 5-8 new partners per event cycle

For the Q2 Summer Festival, you brought in 6 new brands, including a local craft brewery and a sustainable fashion retailer.

CRM Data Accuracy & Timeliness
How well you keep our CRM (HubSpot or Salesforce) updated with all interactions, notes, and pipeline stages.
Target · 95%+ accuracy and all activities logged within 24 hours

Your manager checks your CRM and finds all contact details are correct, notes from calls are logged, and deal stages reflect reality. No missing info.

Partner Satisfaction & Feedback
How happy your partners are with their experience, often gathered through post-event surveys or direct conversations.
  • Positive feedback in post-event surveys (e.g., 4/5 average rating for 'Partner Experience'). Partners actively refer other brands to us. They'll tell you directly they had a great experience and felt supported throughout.
Activation Quality & Creativity
The effectiveness and originality of the on-site or virtual activations you co-create with partners.
  • Event attendees are engaging with partner activations (e.g., long queues at a photo booth, high participation in a workshop). Internal teams (Production, Marketing) praise your ideas and how well they integrate into the event. You're bringing fresh ideas to the table, not just doing the same old thing.
Internal Collaboration & Support
How effectively you work with our internal teams (Production, Marketing, Legal) to deliver for partners.
  • Production team members report clear communication and timely asset delivery from you. Marketing feels you're a good partner for co-promotional efforts. Legal doesn't flag your contracts for missing information. You're seen as someone who makes things easier, not harder, for others.
Proactive Problem Solving
Your ability to spot potential issues with a partnership (e.g., a partner missing a deadline, a logistical challenge) and address them before they become big problems.
  • You flag a potential issue with a partner's logo submission to Production before the print deadline. You notice a partner's activation might conflict with another event element and propose a solution before anyone else spots it. You're not just reacting
  • you're thinking ahead.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Seeing Your Ideas Come to Life

You'll get a real buzz from walking around an event and seeing a partner activation you helped create, with attendees genuinely enjoying it. That feeling of 'I made that happen' is a big driver.

You spent weeks working with a drinks brand on a bespoke cocktail bar experience for our festival. On the day, you see hundreds of people queuing up, taking photos, and having a great time. That's your reward.

Building Genuine Relationships

You enjoy the process of getting to know people at other companies, understanding their needs, and becoming a trusted contact. It's not just about the transaction; it's about the long-term connection.

A partner you've worked with for a year calls you directly for advice on their own marketing plans, not just about renewing their sponsorship. That's a sign of a strong relationship.

Achieving Tangible Results

You're motivated by hitting your revenue targets and seeing your efforts directly contribute to the success of an event. You like having clear goals and working to smash them.

You close a tricky deal that pushes your quarterly revenue over target, and you feel a real sense of accomplishment. You know your work has a direct impact on the business.

What frustrates people
  • Chasing partners for assets (logos, descriptions) right up to the print deadline.
  • Dealing with last-minute changes from partners that impact event logistics.
  • The internal tug-of-war between what a partner wants and what our Production team says is feasible.
  • Legal bottlenecks holding up contracts for weeks after a verbal agreement.
  • Trying to prove the 'soft' ROI of a brand awareness activation to a very data-driven partner.
What this role does not give you
  • A completely predictable, routine day-to-day schedule.
  • Full autonomy on large-scale, multi-million pound strategic partnerships (that's for more senior folks).
  • A role purely focused on creative ideation without the need for meticulous operational follow-through.
  • A job where you never have to deal with frustrating administrative tasks.

6Who you work with

This role directly contributes to the financial success of our events by securing partnership revenue. More than that, you're responsible for bringing in partners that genuinely enhance the attendee experience, adding value and excitement. You'll also help build our reputation as a great partner to work with, which is vital for long-term growth and renewals.

Inside the business
  • Event Production Team (for activation feasibility and delivery)
  • Marketing Team (for co-marketing opportunities and brand alignment)
  • Finance Team (for invoicing, payments, and budget tracking)
  • Legal Team (for contract reviews and approvals)
Outside the business
  • Brand Marketing Managers (at partner companies)
  • Agency Contacts (representing partner brands)
  • Event Attendees (whose experience you're enhancing)
  • Vendors (who help deliver partner activations)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of experience in a client-facing role, ideally within sales, account management, or business development.
  • Proven experience managing multiple projects or client accounts simultaneously, demonstrating strong organisational skills.
  • A track record of meeting or exceeding targets, whether sales, project delivery, or client satisfaction.
  • Comfortable with basic financial concepts and able to discuss budgets and ROI with clients.
  • Experience working with CRM software (like HubSpot or Salesforce) and project management tools (like Asana).

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced CRM Automation & Reporting

As our partnership portfolio grows, manual tracking becomes unsustainable. You'll need to move beyond basic data entry to building more sophisticated workflows and custom reports that save time and provide deeper insights for your manager.

Workflow Automation · Custom Report Building · Data Hygiene Best Practices

  • This month: Explore the 'automation' features in HubSpot/Salesforce and try to build one simple workflow for your own deals.
  • Next quarter: Work with your manager to design a custom report that gives them better visibility into your portfolio's health.
  • Within 6 months: Take an advanced CRM administration course or certification to deepen your knowledge.
  • Within 12 months: Mentor a new Partnership Coordinator on best practices for CRM data entry and reporting.

Quick win: Identify one repetitive task you do in the CRM and research if there's an existing automation for it. Ask your manager about their 'dream' report.

Financial Modelling for Partnership Value

To secure larger and more complex partnerships, you'll need to go beyond simple pricing. You'll need to build robust financial models that clearly articulate the ROI for partners and the P&L impact for our business, justifying the investment.

Cost-Benefit Analysis · Scenario Planning · P&L Impact Assessment

  • This month: Review our existing financial models for larger partnerships and try to understand the key inputs and outputs.
  • Next quarter: Take an online course on intermediate Excel or Google Sheets for financial modelling.
  • Within 6 months: Build a simple financial model for one of your current partnerships, showing its potential ROI for the partner.
  • Within 12 months: Present a financial justification for a new partnership idea to your manager, using your model.

Quick win: When you're building a proposal, try to add a simple 'estimated ROI' section for the partner, even if it's just a few bullet points based on past data.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry conferences and trade shows (e.g., Event Tech Live, Marketing Week Live) to stay current on trends and network.
  • Subscribing to key industry publications and newsletters (e.g., Event Magazine, Campaign) to keep your finger on the pulse.
  • Taking online courses in advanced negotiation, client relationship management, or digital marketing.
  • Participating in internal training sessions on new event platforms or sales methodologies.
  • Seeking out mentorship from more senior Partnership Managers or Directors within the company.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Data-Driven Storytelling for ROI

Partners are increasingly demanding concrete evidence of ROI, not just 'brand awareness'. Simply showing impressions isn't enough; you'll need to connect partnership activities to tangible business outcomes. The market is shifting towards performance-based partnerships.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Partnership Director is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Understand the role of marketing and advertising in live events and promotionLevel 3

Applied to your work in Partnership Director

The objective of this unit is to provide learners with a thorough understanding of the roles of marketing and advertising in promoting live events and related activities. Learners will explore how advertising and marketing strategies are applied within the live events sector, including within specific organisations, and how they contribute to audience engagement and brand loyalty.

One to one, not one to many

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

    3-5 years in this role

    You'll move from managing a smaller portfolio to owning a full quota of high-value, complex partnerships. This means more outbound prospecting, larger deals, and taking on informal mentorship for junior team members.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine having a super-smart assistant who handles the grunt work, leaving you free to focus on what you do best: building relationships and closing great deals. That's what AI can do for you in this Partnership Director role. It's not about replacing you; it's about making you incredibly more effective and giving you back precious time.

In Events & Experiential Marketing, the partnership sales cycle can be long and detail-heavy. From finding the right brands to drafting proposals and tracking assets, there's a lot of manual work. AI tools are here to streamline those processes, helping you identify better prospects, craft more compelling pitches, and manage your workload with far less effort. We're talking about real, tangible time savings every week.

Prospecting Co-Pilot

Use AI tools like Clay or Apollo.io to quickly scan LinkedIn and company websites. They'll identify ideal partner contacts based on your criteria and even draft hyper-personalised outreach emails that actually reference their recent marketing campaigns. No more generic cold emails!

Pricing & Tier Analyst

Feed historical sponsorship data, competitor pricing, and audience demographics into an AI tool. It can then recommend optimal pricing for your smaller sponsorship tiers and even predict the revenue potential for new, unique assets you're thinking of offering. This helps you make smarter, data-backed decisions.

Partner Research Assistant

Before a big call, use an AI agent to generate a concise brief on a potential partner. It'll summarise their recent product launches, target audience, current marketing campaigns, and even list key decision-makers. You'll walk into every meeting incredibly well-prepared, saving you hours of manual digging.

Contract Clause Drafter

Train generative AI on your company's standard legal templates. It can then draft common clauses for contracts (like payment terms or exclusivity) or quickly summarise the key risks and changes in a partner's redlined version of an agreement. This speeds up the legal review process significantly.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Partnership Director, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Partnership Director: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Events Experiential Marketing

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here—client relationship management, negotiation, project management, and understanding marketing objectives—are highly transferable. You could move into broader sales leadership, account management in other industries (e.g., media, advertising), or even client-side brand management roles where you'd be the one seeking partnerships.
