The Partnerships Manager is a maternity cover role that will lead the AMA’s business development, which includes securing and managing ongoing relationships with sponsors, exhibitors, and corporate partners, as well as other opportunities for business growth in line with annual financial targets and the AMA’s vision, mission, and strategic goals.

We are looking for someone with great relationship building skills and strong sales experience, who can create opportunities for new and existing partners to help them reach their goals whilst also delivering value for our community of members. Whilst the role oversees this area of our work, it is mainly a delivery role, so we’re looking for someone who is happy and capable to deliver all the practical elements of the role.

Pleasenote: whilst this is a remote job, applicants must be based in the UK, and able to travel to occasional AMA events and away days (at the AMA’s expense)
