Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 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
• Self-directed, commercially sharp, and comfortable building from a blank page

Preferred

• 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

Benefits

• This role is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, competitive healthcare, and other employee benefits.
