Role Overview
As the Partnership Effectiveness Manager, your core workstreams will be to lead the development and delivery of comprehensive measurement and reporting frameworks to evaluate the effectiveness and value of our clients’ sport partnerships.
Working closely with internal teams, external partners, and data providers, you will design and manage the tools, methodologies, and analyses that demonstrate partnership performance, value creation, and return on investment.
Additional workstreams will support the Partnership Effectiveness Lead on projects such as partnership contract renewal projects and new business pitching.

You can bring structure to complex data environments and align diverse stakeholders around clear definitions of success. You are equally comfortable analysing research outputs, facilitating workshops, and presenting concise, strategic recommendations to senior stakeholders.
As a collaborator, you excel in connecting the dots across teams and partners, ensuring measurement frameworks not only capture impact but also drive continuous improvement. If you are passionate about evidence-based strategy and want to help leading brands quantify and optimise the value of their partnerships, this is the role for you.
