The Role

We are looking for a Strategic Partnerships Manager to help identify, develop and deliver partnerships that create value for Goalhanger, our audiences and our members. This is a broad role focused on finding opportunities where partnerships can help us grow awareness, reach new audiences, strengthen our relationship with audiences and members, and support new areas of growth for the business. Sitting within the Partnerships team in Goalhanger Commercial, the role will work closely with teams across the wider business - including podcast verticals, Memberships, Operations, Commercial and Sales - to understand priorities, identify opportunities and develop partnerships that support Goalhanger’s growth. You will manage opportunities from initial idea through to execution, building relationships with partners, shaping propositions and ensuring partnerships deliver meaningful value.

What you’ll do:

Project management

  • Manage partnership opportunities from initial idea through to delivery, coordinating internal teams and external partners.
  • Build and maintain a clear pipeline of opportunities, ensuring priorities, next steps and ownership are clear.
  • Shape partnership ideas into clear propositions, working with teams across Goalhanger to assess value, feasibility and fit.
  • Take ownership of the partnership process through to contract, onboarding and launch, ensuring clear deliverables, timelines and responsibilities are agreed.
  • Manage long-term partner relationships, ensuring partnerships are well maintained, delivering against agreed objectives and creating opportunities to grow over time.

Strategic Partnerships

  • Identify and develop partnerships that support Goalhanger’s wider objectives, including audience growth, membership, brand relationships and new opportunities.
  • Work with memberships, podcast teams and wider business teams to understand priorities and where partnerships can help.
  • Develop opportunities including member benefits, value exchanges, venue and experience partnerships, and other initiatives that strengthen our relationship with audiences and members.
  • Work with the wider Commercial and Sales teams to identify opportunities to extend existing brand relationships through strategic contra opportunities.

New opportunities and products

  • Explore partnership-led opportunities that could create incremental value and revenue over time.
  • Work with relevant teams to assess and develop new revenue streams across areas such as events, education, publishing, branded content, consumer products and other audience-led initiatives.
  • Help turn early ideas into clear propositions and identify where there is potential to develop them further.

We’re looking for someone with a proven track record of developing partnerships within a content-led business. You’ll be commercially minded and highly execution-focused, with the ability to take partnership ideas from initial conversations through to successful delivery.

What you’ll bring:

  • Experience developing partnership propositions, negotiating opportunities and managing relationships through to delivery.
  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple opportunities, stakeholders and timelines.
  • The judgement to assess opportunities, prioritise where to focus effort and identify where there is a strong fit for Goalhanger.
  • A proactive, entrepreneurial approach and the ability to turn ideas into action.

We'd Especially Love to See:

  • A strong network and experience building relationships with brands, venues, platforms or other external partners.
  • Experience working in partnerships within media, publishing, events, membership or entertainment.
  • An understanding of Goalhanger’s audiences and how partnerships can support growth, engagement and membership acquisition.

Why join Goalhanger?

  • A rare opportunity to help shape the commercial growth of the UK’s fastest growing company
  • A creative, collaborative, close-knit team that genuinely cares about its work and each other.
  • The opportunity to grow and own new revenue streams & contra relationships.
