As Precision Fuel & Hydration continues to scale, partnerships remain the heartbeat of our brand's growth. We don't just "do" sponsorships; we build high-value networks across podcasts, YouTube, and print media, and collaborate with other leading brands in the world of endurance sports.
We're looking for a Partnerships Manager to lead this network. This is a role for a strategic thinker who has the commercial nous to get deals over the line, but also understands the human element of why people choose one brand over another.
You'll work closely with the Marketing Director, managing our Partnerships Coordinator and ensuring that while we strive for creative and high impact marketing we never lose sight of the details that make a partnership work.
We're growing fast, which means things move quickly around here. Our roles will evolve over time, and while the key responsibilities are outlined below, there may be changes as we grow. We're looking for someone who's up for that kind of pace and flexibility - someone who's keen to roll up their sleeves and grow with us.
To Apply:

What You'll Do
* Network Strategy: Own and nurture our key relationships. You aren't just managing a list; you're curating a network that puts our products into the hands (and bottles) of the right athletes.
* Commercial Negotiation: Lead the negotiation on the majority of partnership agreements, working closely with the Marketing Director and CEO to land the biggest deals. With the support of the Marketing Director, you'll have the scope to navigate terms, deliverables, and financial support
* The "Long and Short": Use data to guide your decisions, but keep the bigger picture in mind. You'll understand how to balance immediate sales performance with the long-term brand building that fuels future growth.
* Team Leadership: Manage and develop our Partnerships Coordinator, acting as their mentor and ensuring the day-to-day delivery of our strategy stays organised and on track.
* Creative Briefing: Work with our Creative and Copy teams to ensure partners aren't just reading scripts, but telling our story. You'll identify the non-obvious content opportunities that others might miss.
* Brand Representation: You'll represent PF&H at key events, from co-branded shakeout runs to major international races. This involves building meaningful connections with potential partners and getting your hands dirty alongside the rest of the team to make an activation successful.
* Integrated Working: Work closely with the Operations, Events and Sports Science teams to ensure our partnerships are authentic, impactful, and executed flawlessly.
What We're Looking For
* Proven Track Record: You have substantial experience managing strategic partnerships or high-level accounts, ideally within a growth-focused D2C or sports environment. You've successfully navigated complex relationships and delivered tangible results.
* Marketing Instinct: You have a natural feel for brand building and understand how people think. You can spot an opportunity to do something different and better than the status quo.
* People Management: You have experience mentoring or managing others. You know how to delegate effectively while maintaining high standards and helping your team grow.
* Confident Communicator: You can talk shop with a pro athlete, negotiate with a commercial lead, and brief a creative team with equal clarity.
* Technical Curiosity: You don't need to be a sports scientist, but you must be eager to learn the "how and why" of our products and understand why our customers are passionate about what they do
* Endurance Sport Passion: If you're a runner, cyclist, or triathlete, you'll love it here. Understanding the reality of the endurance athlete will help you connect with our audience.
* Can-do Mindset: You are seriously organised and detail-oriented but flexible enough to thrive when things get hectic and roles evolve.
What We Offer
* All the PF&H fuel, hydration, and merch you'll ever need
* The chance to be a key player in a fast-growing, passionate company that is genuinely changing the endurance sports landscape.
* A seat at the table with industry experts in sports science, tech, and marketing.
* International travel and the chance to work at the world's most iconic endurance events.
