Shield AI is looking for a Brand Partnership Lead to own and grow our partnership and sponsorship portfolio, from sourcing new opportunities through renewal. This person will lead cross functional programs that strengthen Shield AI’s brand through sports, military community, and industry partnerships, while ensuring every deal, activation, and deliverable is executed with rigor, clarity, and accountability.

What you’ll do

  • Lead outreach, define deal terms and deliverables, and partner closely with Legal and Finance to move agreements through signature.
  • Manage active partnerships throughout the full contract lifecycle, serving as the primary day to day contact for partners, track contracted rights and deliverables, and ensure both Shield AI and external partners meet their obligations.
  • Build program plans, workback schedules, and deliverable trackers in Asana, coordinating across Creative, Communications, Events, Legal, Finance, and external stakeholders to keep work on track and aligned to public facing deadlines.
  • Lead partnership activations from planning through execution navigating logistics including shipping, installation, on site production, talent coordination, and partner schedules.
  • Travel to key events, oversee day of execution, and close out assets, invoices, and recaps.
  • Ensure all public facing partnership work aligns with Shield AI brand standards and applicable data handling and export control requirements.
  • Own the partnership budget and build forecasts in Excel to track committed and actual spend, reconcile purchase orders and invoices with Finance, and proactively flag risks or overruns with a recommended path forward.
  • Measure and report on partnership performance to define success metrics for each partnership, gathering results after activations, and provide the Director of Brand and Creative with regular visibility into spend, deliverables, and outcomes to inform renewals and future investments.
  • Partner with the creative studio to deliver partnership assets to submit clear briefs with scope, partner specifications, and deadlines, and help prioritize work so assets are delivered on time and to standard.

What we’re looking for

The person who succeeds in this role is highly organized, action oriented, and comfortable owning complex programs from end to end. You build strong partner relationships, keep stakeholders informed, and maintain clear, current trackers, timelines, and files. You move work forward without waiting to be asked, close loops quickly, and communicate status and decisions clearly. You treat budgets with care, stay calm as priorities shift, and bring structure to fast moving, cross functional work.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
